Thanks Carla, I'm able to get on now if I type in gardenweb.com. It brings me into the gardenweb site, and then I can click on garden forums to get to all the rose forums. It's not as nice as before, when I could type in gardenweb.com/forums, but it works. I haven't checked today to see if I can get into searching the old threads yet, but I did see yesterday that the gardenweb put up a notice that they were working on that issue. Roselvr, we use comcast. I had a lot of trouble initially getting on this site, but as noted above, since I changed my method of logging on, it's been O.K. I'm glad, as I'll have some questions to post, I'm sure, before too long. I've been really ill for the past month, so I've only been dabbling here and there. Sandy

For personal email, I am using an old copy of Netscape ver. 4.7. It's no good for browsing anymore because it does not support newer features and calls in the later versions of Windows, but it works great as an email utility. You can browse the internet with Internet Explorer and bring up Netscape when you need to access email. Both Netscape and IE will run simultaneously without interferring with each other. Just make sure that for the first time Netscape runs and the panel pops up, "do you want to make Netscape your default brouser", you answer, "No". IE will remain the default and Netscape will be secondary. You can start and stop Netscape at any time as needed while IE remains connected on-line. I use IE to log into my ISP's mail server to read and manage my mail on the mail server, but when I want to download emails to my computer, I fire up Netscape to do this. In this way, I can purge my email of spam and any messages that I do not want to keep, then download only the "keepers".

Right clicking on setup brings up the Installshield wizard to install Broadcom 802.11 Wireless Lan Adapter. I have done that. It ends by saying "Set up has finished installing the Broadcom 802.11 software on your computer and has started Broadcom 802.11." I then clicked "Finish" and the Install box went away. So that's where I am. I don't know how to "attach" the driver to a network adapter since the network adapter is gone. Nothing else happens after the Install box goes away.

Last evening I decided it was time to update to Firefox3, so I went ahead and did that. Then when I came back on to surf, everything was like molasses at Christmas time. I thought I had messed up for sure or else FF3 was the pits! Thank goodness it was GW, not me or FF3. BTW, this is a good time remind every one that has problems with ads, etc. that using FF will solve all that. Sue
