FBW,
Thank you. I am very reluctant to disable McAfee, as it is the only antivirus programme I have, and have always found it excellent. Ran a check from their Clinic site and it says all software is okay?
It sometimes doesn't happen for days, had the computer on line yesterday for over 12 hours with no problems, other days it does freeze up within minutes of turning it on, also sometimes do get the fatal exception. I have had McAfee for years and never had all these problems until fairly recently, what it might be???? is the McAfee is not as compatable with IE5.5, lots of programmes aren't apparently, might try going back to IE5.1 rather than disabling McAfee???
Best regards,
"lame"
