Webbrowser preventing enter firing

I have created an MDI which can display 2 types of child windows: a) windows form with textbox control (to display text files) and b) windows form with embedded axWebBrowser. If I only display multiple child windows of the file type, then I can click on any part of the window to bring that child window to the front. However, as soon as I also display a webBrowser type window, I can only change which child window is on the top by clicking on the window title bar, regardless of what "type" of window it is i.e. clicking on any other part of the form will not bring that window to the top although I can input data into that child window, even though it remains at the back. Once I have shown a webbrowser type window, the other child windows continue to exhibit this strange behaviour even if I close the webbrowser child.

Strangely, this behaviour is machine dependent - it works fine on one pc but displays the behaviour described above on another. Both are running IE6. I have checked all my internet options and cannot see any obvious difference.

Is anyone able to make any suggestions of how to correct this behaviour or why it is machine specific. I have searched the internet extensively but seen nothing similar reported anywhere.
