mixture, thanks for the link. Just sends me straight back to the beta home page!! Can't go anywhere from there. Just seems it's stuck in a loop. It seems to me Google has got a tad too precious for itself. Doesn't like people questioning its authority. Tried a search using Dogpile in IE and certainly there are people having the same issue.
I don't have an account with Google, nor do I think I should have to have one. All I want is the 'classic' version back.
Perhaps I'm missing something but thanks for the reply anyway

R.P. (Oh yes, Gg still loads in Slovak in IE).
