I just did what you said, however, my problem is different, when I click on brouse on FreeRepublic it keeps going back to 2/22/05, just like Ground Hog Day, I can't get past 2/22/05. Only when I click on home and articles can I get recent info. Jim tried to help me, I spent several hours on the phone with Bellsouth, but I seem to be stuck in 2/22/05? Any ideas?
