Glad you found something that works for you. As I said when we started - there just isn't any single solution that works for everyone. I do 90% of my browsing in 64-bit Firefox and the rest in Firefox on my Win Vista machine. It works for me, most of the time. Cheers, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
