two technical issues... 1) blackberry 2) internet explorer

OK, these two seemingly minor issues bugged me at first, but now they are becoming a real problem and affecting my work. I have fiddled with settings and whatnot, but I am stumped

1) On my laptop: if I am using Internet Explorer, I can not click and highlight text to copy, move or delete it. If I use Firefox, it works fine. I'd use firefox all the time, but some of the sites I am using get all $%#ed up if they're not in IE. OH, and I have the exact same problem in Microsoft Outlook, unless I am replying to or forwarding an email.. then I can click & highlight any of the text.

2) My blackberry: using the desktop manager, I am able to synchronize my emails and calender, but I can't seem to get my contacts. Something is working, because if one of my contacts call me, the name & title pop up. But I don't have the list of contacts under "address book" in my blackberry. I had a loaner blackberry the last few days, and I was OVERJOYED to find that my contact list synched up fine on it. Once I got my old one back, it was gone.

These may seem trivial, but I lost over an hour today, because I had to drive back to the office to get a $%#$ phone number that SHOULD have been on my BB. What pi$$ed me off the most was when they called me back later, their info came up on my phone, so I know *something* is synching up from my contacts
Any ideers???
