Hi, Jan,
I have clean temporary internet files and cookies, but it do not resolve the
problem...
Also, MSN browser uses all TIF and cookies of IE, uses engine of IE and run
at this session/account coorectly - but IE run incorrectly (it's about "save
object as..."). Another way must be to resolve problem...
