It should have been on the first page! I had a similar problem with microsoft v2 last year taking over everything. I had to reinstall win 95 and Netscape 2 to get back up and running. I certainly won't be trying Microsoft's new offering for this very reason. They may have fixed it, but I don't have the spare time to give them a second chance to screw me up. What I have, works. It will take an awful to get me to risk a brand switch on spec. Bonzo -- Fight Spam!! to reply remove the NOT from my address __ ____/ \_ [ � ���/\��� / \
