Thank you for responding so quickly. I do appreciate it. The answer you gave me was for Windows XP and unfortunately I have Vista. So before I start something that not be good for me I just want to be sure that the same steps will work with Vista. I am grateful for your help, as internet for dummies is advanced reading for me. The steps looked like something that even I can do. Thank in advance for your help one more time.
I am located in a remote area of the jungle of South America and my internet is my lifeline to the outside world. You are a life saver for me. Thanks again. Internet Idiot
