Valuable input, Rich. It's good to know you have experience with ESET. I too have never had ESET interfere with any application. Although, there could be a first time smile.

My instincts tell me there's something amiss with Windows 7. If I can find out which repair program I need to use (there are dozens in the link provided earlier), I will go that route. Many thanks.
