Instead of trying to troubleshoot the problem, I’d recommend you go to www.mozilla.org and download firefox because in the long run it will give you way less problems. It’s way more secure than IE and has tabbed browsing which comes in handy. It also comes with a very handy and almost perfect pop-up blocker.
Thanks for the advice! I’ll try Firefox and see.
And yes, I have done virus checks etc., also spyware, popup blockers, etc., etc., etc.!!!
Many thanks!
