Bless you all — bless you, bless you.
I now have FOUR lines of attack on Nellie’s AIM problem:
(1) Switch to Trillian.
(2) Switch to GAIM.
(3) Refresh & run NAV.
(4) Check for missing autoexec.nt in the windowssytem32 folder — some
spyware thinks its adware and trashes it.
I shall try them all when Nellie comes home from drama rehearsal. I like
the kids to be around & watching when I fix things — may as well drag out
the illusion of parental omnicompetence for a couple more years.
