I unplugged the mouse, hooked it up again, and the system found it, evidently I don't need the Logitech driver. Before the download I could double click on the FR shortcut, and the forum would open right up. Now, it opens, but in a little separate window that I have to click on to enlarge. It ain't a big deal, but it is my computer, and I preferred it the way it was.
Once you install SP2 it gets overly complicated to run the XP disc for repair, you either have to create a "slick" version of XP, or dump SP2, repair XP, and reinstall SP2. I can't really afford a new OS right now, and for photography windows still seems better, anyway.
I am turning off auto update, for damn sure, before things stop working at all. The whole computer desk is beginning to smell like burning duct tape!
Thanks for listening, I feel better!

1. Close all windows, now open one window in IE
2. Click the enlarge icon in upper right
3. Hold Shift key down and close the window (click red x)
4. Open a new IE window again. Should be fixed.

If that didn't fix it:

1. Close all windows
2. Open IE window
3. Drag the edges to fill the screen
4. Hold Shift key down and click on red x to close window
5. Open a new IE window, should be fixed.
