When I open the computer, I just dont even bother waiting for it to load. cause underneath.. is already my homepage. which is Earthlink,, and thats been loading,, right along.. So, when it starts to come in.. I just X out of it.. I thought maybe?? it had something to do with Norton System Works 2002.. Cause I did install that .. but that was about 2 weeks ago.. if not more. and this only started happening.. last week.. (which btw.. is some awesome program).. I'm so glad I finally "bite the bullet" and spent the money for it.. (I had Innoculate - before. and decided this was the way to go ). and with the rebates.. it comes to about 9.99.. Can't beat that.. (and -- shhh.. I installed it on moms computer too.. <smile>).. Thanks for your help. Helene ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
