We where about to apply Ken bs plan of action. My Grandson noticed that there was 3 different tool bars, one on top of the other?????. Amazon, AOL, MSN. Opened Add/ Remove. and removed two of them, leaving IE / MSN.
Did a restart. Its all come back as it should. Dont ask me how or why. But many thanks to you both for patience and guidance. If the problem reappears i can come back. Lennie.
