Thanks, Gordy and Jay. I tried everything
with mixed results. Apparently I have problems caused by more than one
source. I reconfigured Zone Alarm and that enabled me to do most of
the things I want. Don't think I'll make any more changes till my son come
down for the holidays. Thanks again.

You probably will have to
uninstall IE5.5 before downgrading the version. Hopefully when you did install
5.5 you allowed a backup of the original to be saved during the new install.
For starters you can go to Start\Setting\Control Panel/Add/Remove Programs.
Scroll to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and Internet Tools and click on
that. A window will pop up giving you three options. Choose the Repair option
and see if that helps. As always,reboot when done.

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.
