Becca_FL!!! Some computer answers....

Okay.... seems like your particular issue with IE, might be due to the Windows XP Firewall?

DO this AFTER you install SP2

Click Start, then Control Panel
Click on Security Center (icon)
Click on the Windows Firewall
Select Off even though it says (Not recommended)...

Then close out. And you'll get a red balloon pop up that says windows firewall is off. You need to click on that balloon, and a box pops up.

Click the "Recommendations" pop up
Click on the "I have a firewall that I'll monitor myself" option
Click Okay, and close the window

That should hopefully solve your problem.

Shane...

My hero...blush...I can't wait to give it a try. No can do tonight. TGIF, I'm on the boat and have had a few mango-tini's, Yum, yum. If you have the chance and can remember, please email me this post.


After I try it, I'll be sure to post my experience. Boy, I'm sure glad that I'm not the only one to have problems w/ XPSP2.

How's your satin jacket?
