if that doesn't work, then Baron, gas up the beast and call the AAA for directions to Boca!!
and "no" on the development tools...although I have been having a hard time trying to get Messenger.net to stop popping up whenever I launch Outlook Express....this is a new problem for me. Luckily I will be seeing my friend the computer genius this weekend (no Viper), so I will ask him about that. seems like too much of a coincidence given what you have said.
EDIT: Tripack was right...the box was unchecked. Now for the "test"...
EDIT #2: Success!! I also see that the "default" settings have the box checked.
I always knew Tripack was THE MAN!!!! (the Gems series was proof for ME )
Thanks again both of you!
Now I need to find another excuse for the "house call".
