Well, I just give up.
Thanks so much everyone.
I even purchsed "Eraser Tracks Pro" and erased the index.dat files, etc. I read about those as a result of the posting here. The up side? My computer's never been cleaner.
I just wonder if it's something in settings and downloading "beta software" and signatures, lack of, etc? I love finding answers to something where I don't know the cause, but when I start spending money on the straws I'm grasping, I need to let it go. LOL.
Thanks so much everyone.
