Those who are having troubles might want to check their computer's system resources. So many of today's PC's have those god-awful Winmodems. Those Winmodems require a lot of your computer's resources. So many of our computers have too many items loaded in startup. That drains your resources and causes this type of problem. Look down in the Systray, by the clock. How many icons are there? Those are programs either running or waiting to run. They rob your computer's resources, and help you get problems getting connected, staying connected, etc. There are more details related to analyzing and fixing the problem. It's probably more than we should cover in this forum. This type of information comes from my job as an Internet Technical Support Engineer. I already helped one person today who hadn't been able to upload to her gallery for a month. Ron
