I put this file name into Windows Search, and the latest showing is 11/7/2006, 9:03 PM. File version is 7.0.5730.11, and it says the date created is 8/9/2004 at 3:00 p.m. So I guess it hasn't been modified on this system (the path to it was Windows/System32). But maybe another file was changed that is affecting The Bat! Another clue is that Opera 9 began giving me an error message that it had to close when I would be trying to link within a few websites, and this began happening on Jan. 4, 2007. I can't get from my Inbox to my Spam mail at gmail.com in Opera as a result of this erratic behavior. No problem using Mozilla FireFox. Have just now tried Opera again. It wouldn't even finish loading the gmail website before putting up the Error box. But I was on Google for half an hour earlier this morning, bringing up multiple sites and navigating within them, no Opera problem doing that. (Was reading about cedar waxwings.) I've been sending a report, every time Opera puts up the error message box, so maybe it will all eventually get fixed. I did set a Restore point in Windows/System Restore before installing IE7. I guess I could try going back, in case that would clear up both the Opera and the TB! problem. I'll do that a little later and report back here. (Actually, my TB! AVs stopped happening yesterday. I haven't tried the drag&drop from the message list pane this morning. But I want to send this post before doing that, in case the forced close of TB! would lose my draft.) Thanks a mil for the info, Mark. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.95.6 on Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.95.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
