    if its IE...what one do you have...6.0? if so, you need the service pack :) it doesn't work otherwise :p and if its youe Windows Explorer...then you need to reload windows...

    Oh yeah, I remember one version of IE we had to go download an update or something for it... I would hate to have to reload windows... sigh. Hope it's all better soon!!

    ... it's partly that I have SOOO much STUFF I want to get saved and backed up... it will be MUCH easier now that we have the cd burner drive... I saved a TON of my sims stuff to cds and cleared up about 7 GIGS of space on my computer's hard drive!!

    I know Josh! I've seen it done. *sighes* Takes hours! But I'm NO good at all at those things. Normally I have my friend on the phone instructing me step by step if something needs handling. ;) And it always works. bUt then I never remmeber what we did or how. :p

    Mmm... I have ADSL. I wouldn't be here at all without it. Could never afford the phone bills hehe..
    ISnce we have 2 puters the router has a firewall. The i have norton AV going plus i can activate Zonealarm.
    Without the router Norton and Zonealarm should be enough. Or if you choose another AV pgm.
