OK, G, I will try the 'restore'...why I never remember to use that option is beyond me. I will let you know how it goes.

Hi Jan, Disastar replied to your original post, but perhaps it was lost in transit to you. I've repasted it below. ************************** Well, I see a few possibilities for possible fixes, but IMO you're probably better off doing a Restore Point if there is one from just before the problem started and you did not make a lot of system changes like installing programs and such. The biggest problem I have with just trying to fix the problem is that if that got messed up (probably something to do with registry), then what if there are other problems that you didn't notice yet? If its just the file associations, you can go to http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windo ws-Vista.html (http://tinyurl.com/2xsewp if that link does not work), and download and install the .html and .htm fixes. ************************** --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
