>. Hey gb, thanks for the info, but I've got HP udates
set up to do so on auto, and I've been going to MS to get
all windos updates, patches, and so on. I've spent about
6 hours or so going back and forth with an HP rep. on the
installed HP help and support on this issue and still
have not gotten anywhere. That's why I finally came here
hoping to be able to find something out. Thinking that
maybe it's an os problem. Who knows?
Thanks again for your help, and of course, if you've any
other ideas, I'm all ears. Or eyes in this case. Thanks
again.
