jephree-

I went whole hog & installed IE v7 which corrected all - thanks!

Bill

Cool!

Thanks for the update.

I think you'll like IE7 when you get used to it.

Hi jephree and billsbest,

My name’s Feran and I’m working with the Internet Explorer Outreach Team to provide assistance and help answer questions people might have about Internet Explorer.

Glad IE7 solved the issue. As you said jephree the most current Internet Explorer soon will be IE8. Recently the IE8 RC1 was made available for download. I just wanted to share some information with you in case anyone was interested in learning more about IE8 or trying out the release candidate. You can check out this link: Get Internet Explorer 7

This is a great site that actually gives you the opportunity to test some of the new security features in IE8: Windows Internet Explorer 8 Demos

I hope this is useful!

Feran-

FYI - I HAVE had two crashes since my last post.

Event Viewer
--------------------------------------------------
Check your Event Viewer via Administrative Tools.

Open the System as well as Application tabs and look for red X errors that coincide with your problem. Details here:

How to view and manage event logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

Basic information on Event Viewer errors can be found here: EventID.Net

where is Admin Tools?

never mind - I see how in the link.

There were several errors. Here's one:

Bill: what is the Event ID number? And are they all the same number?

yes, event #'s repeat:

1000
1001
1002

PLUS I get a frequent yellow warning tag, event# 1517
