Hi Dave,
Just wanted to say thanks again for your help. I'm still
working on your last suggestion. I now have a sick child,
so I can hopefully get to it by tomorrow. And yes, there
are two networks installed, but only the wireless is being
used now. So I need to uninstall the other, but I was
worried about various user logins - so I think it would do
me good to learn how to re-install windows and hopefully
that will clean everything up. Will let you know how it
all works out.
Cindy
