Yep. That was the key! Thanks. I did a revert with "Roxio GoBack". Before I had a "selective star-up" but with "load start-up group items" selected. Been that way for years; with no problems. I have now delected that, so only explorer, starter and runapp loading on start-up. I'll now carefully go through the handful of items I want auto loaded on start-up (such as "spywareblaster")to determine which has caused the problem (maybe the new version of spyware blaster that I DL'd). This will lead to new questions/thread about start-up items, which has always confused me a bit.
