Thanks to everybody who is offering advice on this. You have advanced my education about plug-ins and the files they may relate to.
Jon, associating with IE proved the answer. Paul, I didn't test the embedding in an html page idea, but I'll keep that behind my ear should such a problem arise with another file. The file, I now find came from here http://members.aol.com/bushnbin2/blush.htm - funnyish, but the words are a little indistinct to my ear; Stephen, I did have 5.5 before I reinstalled and I do keep thinking about updating, but then there are those patches, too! Norma, You are right about caution; but I had already contacted the sender, so knew it was ok (or should be - and is). Jan, Thanks for your kind offer; but all is well.
