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
