Hi Mike, I redownloaded the file and everything installed
this time. I am able to empty the recycle bin and delete
things now too. Thanks so much. I do have another issue
that just started. Should I post another question out
there? Just in case: All of a sudden I can't access
certain websites that have pop up ads or ad's that scroll
or flash...the screen locks up to where I have to hit ctrl-
alt-dlt to get out and then ultimately reboot. Any ideas?
Thanks so much!!
