Thanks but I don't think that is the problem. It doesn't happen on any
standard procedure. Just random. For example, if it happened once a day or
every time the computer is turned on it would have a pattern and could be
traced down. That's not what happens now. It might go a few days before it
loads the old or it might use the current and then the old during one
session.

Also, this has not always been a problem. It started acting up like this
recently. I keep the latest updates for MS XP Home , with Norton AV,
AdAware, PestPatrol, SpyBot, HiJack This and Bazooka Scanner so I should be
protected from just about anything.

Maybe XP2 will fix it but that's in the future.
