I am going to go ahead and try your suggestions and see what happens.
Meantime wanted to advise that I have tried to download the McAfee free virus
scan (I had removed my copy from my computer) to check to see If I had a
virus and have not been able to do that. When Active X control tries to
download my computer (browser) freezes ! Any Ideas ?

Look forward to your comments.


Thanks !
