Mia, I think it is a conspiracy. My husband kind of tricked me to go look at the 2012 Equinox because he thought I might like to have a newer one. The salesman quickly grabbed the keys and brought one up to the front for me to drive. I didn't drive it but I did get in and look. When we got the one I have now, I had six grandchildren here for a few days, and they ran an TV ad for zero percent financing in Joplin. He wanted me to go right then and find one. I had already driven one and thought they were OK, but we had just bought a new truck, so I wasn't looking for a car. He said what do you want on the car. Since we live in an area with quite a few hills, I didn't want to give up my four-wheel drive. My mother was still living at the time and I was having to make a lot of 300 mile trips so I said I wanted cruise control. He called from the dealer and told me they had two left with four wheel drive and cruise control. He told me the two colors they had, and I picked one. You can see how really excited I get over a new car. Needless to say, he has liked it a lot better than I have, but it's OK. LOL Now GardenWeb has this big ad, that every time I open a thread that says Chevy Equinox Sale 2012. I'm glad to know that it is on your computer too and that I'm not being targeted. LOL After hearing the forecast for this week, I probably should be shopping for an ark.

I'm not sure if there are graphics/pictures involved in the threads. We have a pop-up blocker. I never see any pop-up ads. We also have this problem with the Tiger Woods 2007 game. It locks or we get the BSOD. I called EA sports and they told me to try to update a more current graphic driver. The web site showed that we already have the most recent driver. I guess I need to see if we have the current updates for the ActiveX and Java. This is a Dell that we bought from a friend. Thank you for responding to my question. I will try your suggestions and let you know. Lynn

I sometimes get that message when I have a loose connection, either with my cable modem or the Linksys router. It will clear after checking the connections and/or pushing the reset button. Just my 2 c's. Bejay

Is he using an email client (Outlook Express maybe?) or is he using Yahoo webmail? If he is using an email client, has he tried the webmail?
