Welcome aboard Shy Torque. Dont be shy in trying all the things I have suggested to HB.
HB. Had a though. Try rolling back to a system restore point. You can access the feature through Start, access, system. Read it to learn some about it. If you can roll back maybe 1 month or so, it might correct a hidden problem.
I also discovered recently that IE does not like to allow things to print when a certain word appears in the HTML text. It is a regular word, and I read somewhere on the cure.
I'll post this to let you know I'm still searching! I need the crumpets you see!!!
P.S, Sorry about the French strike. Its a public holiday here in France today, so bugger all was working, or just doordling along like our metro system in Rouen. Back to work today though for you!
Try this program. Apparently this issue could be related to a browser hijack.
