Try this first:

Use the backup option to be safe when you run it.

Hey! This worked for awhile - at least I was able to navigate for 1/2 hour or so, instead of just 3-4 pages. But, alas, got the dreaded error - can't find server.

And, I should also tell you that when I downloaded the latest XP update, it destroyed ZoneAlarm. I've screen printed everything I've done recently, just don't think the local yokels could figure out the sequence of events or how to fix.

Just in case you haven't experienced the print screen key with Windows, check this out. It's called PrintKey 2000, by Alfred Bollinger - and I'd be lost without it. http://www.geocities/gigaman

Thanks for your help. I didn't ever check spychecker before, as I thought I was safe. I'm downloading ZoneAlarm again, now as we speak, since it's disappearance.

Thanks again for your response.
