Thanks to the good efforts of Lorigga I am back in action. The dildo is dead. He will strike this house never again. He may be resurrected elsewhere by evil incantations but for now he is dormant and I say brigade members celebrate! WoW anyone?
(p.s. it was really just the cable, it seems your guess was right Cy)
In addition. Ive been having serious Zone Alarm issues so I uninstalled it. I recently went to download it and it seems its only for pay now....perhaps thats why I my version was having issues.....do any of you Windows users have any suggestions for free firewalls? My computer would benefit from having something I am sure. For now I am off to play FF7. Peace
