[AT] Computer problems once again.

[charlie hill]

Thanks Phil,

I've run virus and spyware checks and have programs running memory resident 
for both.  I've had the same problems with and without those running.  I've 
run Registry Mechanic and was elated wth it found some problems.  I figured 
that was the cure but it did no good.  My hard drive checked out fine the 
last time I ran a utility on it but I'll try that again just in case. 
However, I'm pretty well certain, based on what I've seen online, that this 
is a IE 7 problem.

Thanks

Charlie
