Ok and thanks for the help, I tried Don Varnauâ??s suggestion first, the roll
back to IE 6 was quick and easy and temporarily fixed the problem, then my
settings began changing.
Thing would be working good when I shut it down, but when I started up next
time, my settings would be changed and I would have to reset every thing,
even the Winsock providers would be missing and diagnostic was not any help.
I fooled with it for hours, finally got an error message.
â??Marvell Yukon 8838056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller has failed.â?? That
was the sort of clue I was needing, I changed to â??Microsoft TCP/IP version 6â??
and â??Client for Microsoft Networksâ?? (Both already options) and every things
works good as new.
Tired of fooling with it now, but sorry I said all those bad things about IE
7. Will probably reload IE 7 when I get back in the mood next week.
Thanks again to both of you fellows
