In additon to running the IE repair, I did manage to download, and install, the latest
version of DIRECTX 9.0. Made no difference. I also downloaded and installed Advanced
System Optimizer and ran all of the utilities (Registry Cleaner, System & Disk Cleaner,
Registry Defragger, Memory Optimer). All to no avail. Any last ideas before I move
on?
