Jay,
Do you have a suggestion for me? I upgraded to IE 5.5, but I'm not certain
that it's the cause of my multiple problems. I tried to load my previous
version, but the computer wouldn't let me! My worst problem was that I
couldn't access IE at all. Now, if I do all sorts of juggling, I can
usually open it. ("juggling" means I close or disable all the little icons
at bottom right of the screen) I've had approx.15 hours in-home technical
help, but none of the technicians found the problem. I don't live in US,
but am retired to a lovely "developing" country that is far from high tech.
Lee
