Thanks for the try, but I tried this several thousand tries ago.

No third party software

Finally found it late last night on the above link. Thanks for all your help. Not a company laptop

Just as a rule of thumb, maybe it's a good idea to use something other than Internet Explorer. Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari? Really, anything is better.

he also had the problem in firefox, bucko.

I was just saying..., seeing as how he already solved the problem. Hence the "rule of thumb".
