i use Firefox and love it...almost got IE7 the other day, thanx for the heads up d!
Al, without seeing it, i suggest doing a System Restore. if you are running Win XP then goto: Start / Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore.
pick a highlighted day that is closest to, but before, you installed NERO (or whenever it was you began having the problems).
lemme know if it helps.
take care --- Derek.
