[pchelpers] Re: IE 5 doesn't open properly

Hi Jo

You're a star! I had Pop-up-Stopper loaded. On your suggestion I removed
it and - Hey Presto - my IE5 opens again without any difficulty.

Also thanks to all those members who replied and tendered their ideas to
solve the problem. This proves to me the invaluable benefit that this
column can give to those of us who are computer fundies.  I am very
appreciative indeed.

Eric

| Hi Eric:

that
