Bil, I`m one of the dummies, I did what you said and it killed windows, made
me contact them and re-load
windows, then my dial up wouldn`t work, couldn`t get the icon to bring up
the "dial" box, had to put everything
back the way it was? Computers and me just don`t mix I guess, at least I
tried I guess, Thanks for
trying to make things work faster, Larry E
