Did you try this? I know these are some powerful settings.

Then again, if Firefox didn't have any effect, then I doubt this will either. Hmmmm . . .

I've tried that too. All settings are at default so that couldn't be the problem.

did you end up trying to download (but not install) the windows update from MS website to the other computer and then burn the update onto a data disk and try to re-install it on the comp that is messed up?

If you go under the Internet Options>Security>Custom Level . . ., there's a lot about Java permissions and ActiveX settings there - that might be something if your IE isn't set to one of the default low-medium-high settings.

If that still isn't it, then I'd want to check out your graphics card.

What do you mean by graphics card? (not computer-savvy here)

Anyway I told my mom about the problem and she installed Service Pack 4. At first looked better but now has made a turn for the worse as Problems 1 and 2 are showing up more frequently, if not constantly when I'm visiting sites.

And now I just discovered I'm not able to upload images any more, which was a problem on Sunday.
