I finely found that what I needed to do was to uninstall the program or
portion of the program that was fowling things up. It has been so long now
that I do not know what I really did. But now my up dates are working and
alls wright with the world. Thank you for responding. Shall be using this
version untill it runs out. Dan Purdy
