Listen to WrecklessEric.  I know from your profile that you are very young, so I know a lot of learning is coming your way.  But one thing to stop and think about now is that on the other side of these replys are not bots tied to keyboards but people, some happy, some sad, some nearly burned out on forums.  Instead of saying what you will to some blank reply box take some consideration to what  he human being on the other side of the thread is experiencing.  People like Gary who are so qualified and so willing to help are also rather rare.  He has helped tons and tons and tons of people on this site.  Like as not, he would probably have advised you to try a registry cleaner like he did me the other night, but he was working through the simple steps first.  Not everyone can go out and buy some utility.  And Windows issues are IE issues to some extent and visa versa.

Most important think of yourself.  You solved the problem easy enough this time, but what about next time?  I think people who remember your actions will think two or three times before helping.  You sound like a very bright person, and I am looking forward to the time that you know a little more about people and forums.
