Thanks for the response. I may have fixed it by moving my user directory to a backup location, creating a new user, then moving back the files I needed from the old data. This is the second time in two weeks I've had to do this, though the symptoms were quite different each time. If there's a good side to this, I'm learning what files are important and what they're for. Now, if I could get display screens to show Danish characters. I can type them in using a Danish keyboard setup, but they don't display in a lot of firefox locations; and I occasionally would like to have ø æ and å at my disposal.
