Thanks for responding. I am on broadband 1 meg with tiscali. The laptop is a toshiba withy intel celeron processor. I have tried a few suggestions from tiscali, changing the permissions in internet explorer and deleting cookies and temp. files. However, I really haven't a clue what I'm doing and I was hoping that someone out there had a really simple answer. I Have Win Anti-Virus and I had Win File Fix. The problem seemed to be when I deleted that program because I was sick of their pop-ups. Any assistance for this thickie gratefully received.
