Then, install it on your new computer, after having axed the old one, as it is contaminated for eternity for ever having been sullied with ME code. Or you could try installing mozilla (an infinitely better browser) on ME and see what kind of fun and interesting ways it can cause such a solid program as Mozilla to crash. Jon To all, You have confirmed my worst fear. I will have to spend money!!!! Oh no!!!! All right, I know ME sucks, its as unstable as Charles Manson on crack. I'll pick up a full install version of XP on my way home tonight, wipe the hard drive and start from scratch. Thanks for all your help. PS: I was running ME because my wife is to cheap to buy XP. I'll go without her though, she'll never know (until we get the credit card bill of course.) John D. Barbato, OD
