Hi Steve thanks for the information and I followed it to the letter but it
didn't work
Let me add one more thing When I got this Laptop it had I/E about 2 weeks or
so ago it changed to MSN explorer. It's possible I was Hijacked even with
Norton, House Calls, Adaware guarding my computer. There is somethng that has
to have been added to my system without my knowledge that is stopping me from
changing it back to I/E
Anymore ideas. There must be something that can be done "isn't there"?????
It also has affected the fact that Windows messaging can't be stopped. I
tried ever which way except going to the Regedit ( as I'm not experienced
enough and too old and scared to attempt it
Thanks again ( in advanace)
