Jimmy, thanks for spending so much time on this!!! I really appreciate it. I might have more time to look into this on saturday. I have Norton Internet Security but the settings are not different from what I had on my old computer so I don't believe it has anything to do with it. I still think it's somewhere in the XP-settings. That's why I hate computers where everything is pre-installed... you don't have any idea and control on what's there. It's possible as well that I still have to install something... who knows...
Shantry, I am sure it has nothing to do with Flash either.
I think I will buy a book on windows XP first thing saturday morning and then we will see what I find out...
Thanks for all your help and suggestions, you guys are really great!!!!!!!!!
