Thanks Ray! I solved the problem par force. Uninstalled dropline 2.10 and reinstalled the 2.8.3 version and all is back to normal working. I decided to do this after I found that firefox crashes when a link is clicked.
The 2.8.3 version I have on a CD whereas to the 2.10 version I upgraded by downloading from the Internet. May be that might cause some kinks. I posted the problem in the dropline forum as you suggested.
