Re: OE Wiped Clean......CLUE HERE

There is a woman having all sorts of font problems on our WinME General
ng......and she happened to mention that she downloaded the same darn
program I did just before her computer went haywire......so I have provided
them with the link.

It was called Photo Impressions by HP and she referred to *Image Zone
Express* which is part of it. I still have the folder for that update to
the original photo-editing program on my C:\WINDOWS\Application
Data.....that is the one I pulled out of APPLOG.

We are now wondering if it isn't that one that is causing mega problems.
Something totally wiped out my OE and Firefox......not to mention I no
longer have Quick Launch and some of my icons are just plain jane MS
ones....Roxio, MS Word, etc.

http://makeashorterlink.com/?E21D150DA - this is the page I found in HP that
has 109 documents with regard to problems with this Image Zone Express.....

Are we perhaps on to something here? Seems a bit coincidental that we both
have major problems......she is getting Greek symbols and words in AdAware
and other programs. This appears to be the only thing in common.

Just a thought......

Cheers....Heather
