    Have you deleted all cookies? That's all I can think of, but I'm not that techie myself, so....
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    I read something about a particular .dll file causing problems for certain users. It was mentioned on this forum a few days ago and the post referred to the Spybot forum for more info. Spybot ran with no problems on my system but it obviously affects some users.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:
