Torque & Miz,
I now know the problem is within Internet Explorer.
As expected, when I booted up this morning, IE was not functioning properly. But I decided to see if I could gain access using Netscape, which I already had installed. Guess what? Netscape is having no problems at all. I have full acess, and that is how I am answering you right now.
So, what I need to do is either re-install IE, or do a repair. I have gone to Microsoft Support, and read the article on how to repair IE, and just the thought of it frightens me. I'm terrified I will do something that will mess everything up.
Is it possible I can just download IE6 again, and then just install it? And then the new install will correct whatever problems I was having?
I will wait to hear what you think about this before doing it.
At least now I know for certain the problem was NOT the Microsoft Updates. But I am still at a total loss as to what caused the problem in the first place.
Oh yes, after running Trend Micro's Housecall, not a single worm or virus was found. A few spyware were found, and they were successfully removed. So my Antivirus program was working ok, and that was not the problem. I was so relieved to know that.
Thanks for your suggestions. I wait to hear from you on downloading IE6. (You can do that, right? Just go to Microsoft downloads?)
