Well, I feel sheepish . . . The first time I went there I thought it was the normal error message and didn't read anything. I guess it's just habit because I'm so used to that message.

Thanks for the link, Max! I recommend the Solitaire. Also, just try shutting down the program from the Start menu.

Their version of Word had me in stitches! I am quite familiar with the "It-looks-like-you're-trying-to-write-a-letter" message. Remember, if your computer wants your opinion, it'll give it to you!

Max,

You obviously have nothing better to do. Neither do I!

I'm wiping up the tears of frustration. I couldn't tell much difference between your link and what actually happens on my Windows ME laptop. Except, of course, that I now know that ME stands for myalgic encephylitis. Yuppie disease.
