Hi Jim,
I would suggest you start by doing a virus scan with up to date virus software, then scan for and removing any installed spyware. If you are in need of virus software, here are a couple to choose from, for free. Download the software, and in Update Manager run Update then do a complete virus scan. Free Offer: eTrust EZ Armor Security Suite from Computer Associates http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/index.cfm Search and destroy any installed SpyWare/malware/adwa Ad-aware is a free multi spyware removal utility that scans your memory, registry and hard drives for known spyware components and lets you remove them safely. After installing Ad-Aware make sure to run the update feature before scanning. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ For large amounts of installed spyware and such, it may be necessary to run Ad-Aware several times to clear them all. Here are a couple more removal tools. CWShredder: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html Download Link: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/ SpywareBlaster: http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware – it prevents it from ever being installed. SpywareBlaster is a non memory resident utility. It works by setting a "kill bit" for the CLSIDs of spyware ActiveX controls, it prevents the installation of any of them from a webpage.

It is an Accessibility (control panel, add remove programs, windows setup
tab) tool. See the Help file for more details. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "big jim" jws@nospam wrote in message ...

As Ron stated, it is an Accessibility Tool and if it is installed, should be on the
Start menu under Programs Accessories, in one of the sub-menus. I only mention it because under certain configurations it might show the behaviour you describe. If it is not installed or currently activated, then it is not a player. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "big jim" jws@nospam wrote in message ...
