Jdc2000,
Hi,
I read that the Installer Cleanup Utility, would delete Windows Installer.
If I do that, how would I reinstall the Windows Installer?

Yes. . . I do know that you know what you are talking about, but just like going to the doctor, I question him too. LOL

I will download the Installer Cleanup Utility and give it a try.
I checked my add on's on IE8. There are some. I try to run with as few as possible because I do not have the patience to wait for the browser to come on when I have a lot of the goodies on it.
What about the protection on the browser. Disable that too? Eeewww ~~~ Okay. (giggles)

Thank you,
