Frank,
Just noticed that Yahoo had been intalled in my programs when I went in to
check and remove unneeded programs. Evidently Yahoo got installed at some
point a few days ago. As far as I know I did not authorize the addition and
I guess it was not caught by McAfee.
Anyway - IE works fine now, multiple processes, and I can include my Google
toolbar on the IE screen again as I was until a few days ago.
The Enable Third Party Extensions box is checked and everything works fine
again.
Appreciate your help - next time a browser problem occurs - I will be sure
to check for unauthorized programs being installed without my knowledge.
Thanks.
Don Richardson
