Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You and me both. The only reason I passed that suggestion along
was because I ran across a similar question in one of the other
newsgroups months ago. The only way I could duplicate the
behavior was to remove some of the templates. Sure enough, that
was the problem. I never asked why. I had the feeling that it
was something the OP had done and forgotten about.
