Thank you both for your reply. Switching to FF was easy, just hadn't known where I could do that.
Apparently I'd fixed my problem yesterday before posting, but it took a reboot that showed up this morning for the fix to take. I'd set my localhost as a trusted site, that fixed it. I also in IE advanced settings clicked the button that returns the browser to the factory default state. That may have helped as well, but it is showing as a trusted site at the moment. Thanks again for your help.
