Terrorist -- I am watching this thread with interest ...thanks for mentioning IE7 and WMP11. I have considered going forward with them recently but not after what you wrote! nancy

garmanma -- Thanks so much for your time! I'm going to look at that link. Appreciate it. nancy

Does anyone know what the At&T Yahoo browser is? I have a friend who uses this because of her internet provider, sbcglobal, and McAfee's SiteAdvisor won't work on it. Site Advisor downloaded fine and works on her IE but wouldn't on this browser she normally uses. I didn't know it existed. Thanks for anyone's input. nancy

appreciate your time, Mark! nancy

Thanks for reading this! 2 part question: 1. A friend of mine is going on a trip and wants to be in touch with us via email. She plans to use a library computer. Is this safe as long as she clears her IE history after she closes her e-mail provider site? ~~~~~~~~~ 2. If it's safe that way, and if I give her IE6 directions to clear the history, can she follow those directions if the library is using IE7? I've heard there is no menu bar in IE7 by default, so she might not see "Tools"? [tools...internet options...clear history] I will really appreciate anyone's help! nancy

I know it probably seems crazy that I ask this question every time, but I feel so much better after I hear the go ahead from you all. Thank you very, very much for your time! nancy

Is everyone okay with Tuesday's Windows updates? Will appreciate the input.. nancy

Brian - thanks so much for taking time to give such a thorough answer. I should have been more clear. This friend of mine already has IE7 --the auto updates downloaded it. She did not know to save the favorites. I will certainly do this before I get IE7 though. Thanks again! nancy

I have not yet downloaded IE7, but an out-of-town friend of mine has and she said her favorites are gone. Is this possible? I can't imagine them not being transferred, so I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can have her look. Thanks so much for your time! nancy

Just wanted Liz to know that I received her assistance and appreciate the extra trouble she went to. I sent her a PM and didn't hear back so thought I should go ahead and post here. Appreciate Matt's post too! Thanks so much! nancy

Appreciate the input. [Am so sorry about your bad luck, Terrorist] May need to start a new thread about WMP 11. I've been hesitant because WMP has been so great --hate to change.

Terrorist, I heard somewhere about someone having problems with their printer [and maybe something else] since these updates. Don't know any details or who the person was...or how accurate the info was, but it made me more concerned than usual. Thanks!

Was wondering if anyone has had any problems with the Microsoft XP updates released this past Tues, Dec 12? I have 5 [not including IE7, which I am temporarily ignoring!] Thanks for anyone's time! nancy

Thank you all so much. I am going to compose a note to her today. Really appreciate all of the input...and was also good to learn something new. nancy

Terrorist...thanks for giving me a laugh about your aunts [even though it's not funny]

Appreciate the input, Mark.

I was wondering if any of you have ever heard of an anti-virus program and/or security suite called stopsign. A tech repair guy sold a friend of mine a lifetime support of this company for $99 ...all for support on 3 computers too. She is in another town, had a virus, and I suggested to her all of the obvious security programs, but her tech guy talked her into this. He told her it had won awards from pcworld, so I thought maybe I was just behind on the latest and greatest. After going to pcworld and finding nothing on it, I am worried that she was talked into something not so reliable. Sure wo

Thanks, Terrorist. Good point. Talked to her ISP, and they assurred me that they didn't block messages. I was able to go her server, though, and found that for some reason the messages never got there. At least I know for sure it's not her computer because I was really stumped. Thanks to you both!

Pat - I really appreciate your time. I believe I can check her server. Never thought about that....may be the key too!! At least I'll know which end stops it! nancy

I've decided just to see if any of you have any ideas on this. A friend of my mother tries to send her Jacqui Lawson electronic greeting cards, but my mother never receives them. The friend sends them to me occasionally also, but I receive them just fine. I have checked my mother's computer for blocked messages and they are not being blocked. [she uses Outlook Express]. I have always had her Norton anti spam feature completely off and have double checked that it still is. She has a firewall, but so do I, so I don't think that would be stopping a greeting card email. Sure would appreciate

thanks Curling Steve.... ....but now I'm dreading IE7 even more!!!!

Terrorist -- thanks so much! I too am waiting on IE7 but appreciate go-ahead on others!

Just wondering if anyone has had any problems with the latest XP updates that begin with KB922760, KB927978, etc? I was surprised when they arrived....seems like the end of last week. Sure will appreciate your time! nancy

Terrorist - just happened to check back on this. Thanks very much!
