IE 10 Clicking in Search box only briefly shows drop down menus

I just found out what causes the problem to occur. In my last post, I said I was going to install one last toolbar. That toolbar is the Time Warner Cable tool bar. I just installed it and the problem reappeared. Luckily, it went away when I uninstalled it. The strange thing is that it's been installed first, as the RoadRunner toolbar and then as the TWCC toolbar for over a year and it's never caused a problem. The other strange thing is that when I was doing all this trouble shooting, I had uninstalled it but the problem was still there.

As I mentioned earlier, I had Java completely uninstalled when I was trouble shooting. The only thing I didn't do is make registry edits to make it completely gone. The other thing is that the problem doesn't occur when using FireFox when the toolbar and Java are installed.

It's just conflicting with IE 9 and 10. When I uninstalled the toolbar, I was asked automatically why I uninstalled. I provided the appropriate information and forwarded it to them. I'll see if I got a response when I get on that system later.

I went to the live chat at TWC yesterday. The guy didn't have a clue. I mean, when you tell someone that it happens in IE 9 and 10 but doesn't occur in Firefox and they come back and tell you that you can use a later version of IE or switch browsers and it will work, you know you're in trouble. He sent the problem to the TWC developers so now I'm waiting.
