Hi Kim,
I don't know if your problem is similar to one I had a while back, but in
case it is, here's what I experienced, and what I did about it. I found
that when I loaded an internet page, the first page after starting Internet
Explorer, the page loaded fine, but the next page I tried to go to either by
clicking a link, or opening a new page just wouldn't load at all. So, I
deleted my internet history in the options option on the tools menu in
Internet Explorer. If you've already done this, sorry, and if not, maybe
it'll help you too. I deleted all history, visited links, deleted cookies,
and all stored passwords. In essence, anything that could be deleted from
the history, I deleted. And I was good to go.
Good luck.
Mayrie

Hi, Roger, bless you, I've done re-starts of my computer and I've also
checked for viruses. I've also run Spybot. Let's hope a computer guru can
figure out what's going on. I can't. Regards, Kim.

Don't forget to do a complete virus scan. You might also try rebooting your
computer if you leave it on all the time normally.
