No, it doesn't imply that at all. It could just as easily be in Firefox, in something else (like AV software) that's conflicting, or who knows what. There's no reason to simply ASSUME that it's a Vista bug. If I had a dollar for every "Windows bug" that was actually a problem in client software, a driver, router firmware, etc. etc. etc., I'd be a lot less worried about my 401(k). ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
