Tonight I will shut this thing down or fix it. I've been leaning toward firefox for quiet awhile. I just haven't had the guts to try and switch over. Afraid I would destroy my computer pushing the wrong button. At this point, it's not doing me much good as it is. If I do too much damage in trying to fix it, I'll take it to a computer shop and have them set it right. So far this is a hardy machine. No matter what feeble attempts I try, I haven't destroyed it yet.

I'm more of a hardware guy than software, but if you hit a snag, ping me and I may at least know where else to point you.

You'll like Firefox- using it instead of IE is no big deal.

When you install, it will ask if you want to import cookies & bookmarks ( yes! ) and then you can resume surfing.

Remember, with Windows, left-click is "basic Windows and right-click is "advanced." When you hover the pointer over a menu item in FF, try both, as there are extra features to be found when right-clicking.

Thank you backhoe. I was hoping you would see this thread. I was telling my son about you this morning.

Got it. I hadn't even thought about losing all my bookmarks. It's the little things like that that will get me.

I just copied this. I'll need all the help and good luck I can find.

There are so many kind and helpfull people on FR.

I'll probably shut this down around 8:00 tonight and have at it.
