I believe I got mine fixed. I un-installed explorer 9. The computer automatically went back to explorer 8 which I like better any way. I down loaded an explorer 9 blocker from Microsoft to keep 9 from automatically re installing.

I sent out a test PM to serowbot and it shows in my out box so maybe it works now. It does work now as he just PMed me back.

To get rid of explorer 9 go into control panel, click programs then click view installed updates under programs and features then find explorer 9 and un-install it.

I didn't see explorer 9 right away so I hit the internet help button. Its the blue one with the question mark in it. Click on about internet explorer and it will give you the # of the latest update. heck I un-installed about 15 of them before I found the actual explorer 9 install. Took a while. I'm so computer illiterate  

Its not in the un install section, its in the view installed updates. It took me awhile but I did remove it. If you don't down load the explorer 9 blocker the computer will install it again at night using the automatic update function.

Tried downloading firefox, got file corrupted message, because I didn't accept any of the downloads as the defaults...
