I have XP Pro, SP2, all MS updates, and I once followed NG advice to "fix"
this problem, that only cropped up overnight, and it worked. Now its happening again. I can see that the URL opens on my taskbar, but it will not open my IE. I use AVG, Ad Aware, Zone Alarm, Spybot S&G, and my DSL has an internal router in the modem, et al. Is one of these removing my settings? I've also just noticed that when I hit Forward on some email messages, or a FAX, Outlook attempts to perform, and I use OE; additionally, my address book is gone from my fax, unless I click on my desktop MS Fax icon, and now a directory opens, so if I click on Shortcut to MS Fax, then the Address Book is present when the fax window opens. I've run Trend Micro and all reports are the same as I get from the others...which I run twice a week...but AVG updates and runs daily. Never anything found but Cookies, which I have deleted. Thank you all. |

NOPE, did the same last time, but this time unchecked the DE something, and
just tried your "Goggles" link and now the link doesn't even 'tickle" the task bar, even with Ctrl/click. sigh "PA Bear" wrote in message ...

Frank, that is my v of Zone Alarm. I've forgotten which F key to boot into
Safe Mode...then what's that about Networking? I'm using a screen reader and it sounded confusing. Duh! "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM" wrote in message ... "Pappion" wrote in message ...
