OK. I can see one option only. You install free version of ScreenHunter: http://wisdom-soft.com/products/screenhunter_free.htm, and you provide us with a screenshot of what you have there.

    Broni, et all:  I’m going to bed now, almost afraid to do anything.  But tomorrow a very computer savvy friend is coming over.  I’m going to have him read ALL of this thread, and we’ll take it from there.

    Later.   I’ll be back.  Not giving up yet.

       ;D

      OK, I’m back.  We fixed it.  Went into IE, Internet options, Tabs, Tabbed browser settings.  Clicked “open links from another program in a new window”, then clicked OK.   Now I can keep several programs and sites open simultaneously.

      Note:  I’ve used the Internet Options window before, but I had been going there via the Control Panel.   I missed a post last night where Netjan had asked me about that.

      Computer friend was in a hurry so we didn’t do the screen picture.  But, he said I should have no problem with doing that, so later I’m gonna try.  It’s just another good thing to know.  My computer, printer, etc. are just 6 wks old and even though I’ve been using computers and the Internet for a long time, I’m still a little afraid to mess something up.  I bought a 22” flat screen monitor – a real beauty.  I also have a visual impairment, and when Computer friend set my equipment up we made some adjustments to make things easier for me to see.

      Anyway, thanks everyone.  Sorry if I sounded frustrated; sometimes online communications come across differently than one intends them to.  I’ll keep this board in my favs and come again when I need help OR just to read threads and learn things, and earlier today I recommend this site to a friend.  The tenacity of the experts is impressive. heh heh  :)

      Have a good day.
