thx for the link radarman, and im sorry to bother you again, but I can't follow the instructions for curing this...They say click start > all programs > Object Desktop, on my computer, I don't have Object Desktop...what can I do...once again, thx for the help

Either "object desktop" is in Windowblinds and you go there or just go to Windowblinds (skip object desktop) in your /start/programs/ and continue following those directions.
Let us know how you do.

I tried them many many years ago and they caused some problems that I can't remember so I deleted them.

I have neither object desktop nor windowblinds on the computer...I made a search for them, but I couldn't find anything by those names???...any ideas, thx for all the help so far ...by the way, I still keep getting invalid session, I'm using Firefox exclusively for this website, and I deleted my cookies, but no luck

If you have any program by Stardock that may cause the problem.

Invalid session, dump your cookies, cache and history, shut off your pop-up-stopper and come back here.
Do you have the latest Firefox, they are having many problems with that browser.

thx for that radarman...ill check and see if I have any programs by stardock...as for the invalid session, I'll try everything you say...thx alot radarman, I appreciate your help
