Well, as I mentioned, I'm not 100% sure your posting didn't have what I
needed. However, I have been through a number of relevenat docs, some of
them in your list, and no joy yet. I will examine your list more closely
tomorrow...
Yes, IE and XP have a relationship unlike any previous version of Windows.
However, when you get a message saying Internet Explorer hasn't passed Logo
Testing, you know something is daffy.
By the way, if you have the opportunity to upgrade to XP, I would still
recommend it. Along with being a bit more complex, it is also more stable
and makes better use of resources. I had a client with a newer PC, still
running 98SE. She was complaining about the speed of her accounting
applications. Someone had installed 512MB of RAM in it - with Win98! I
upgraded it to XP Pro, and she has been happy for a long time now. It runs
much faster, since the memory management in XP is better equipped to handle
the extra RAM.
Anyway, this may just be another of those many Windows issues that don't get
solved. It really irritates me that it costs so much to have them help us
to fix something that Microsoft broke -- more than the OS costs to buy
retail!
Thanks again for your reply!
