It is a wireless lap-top and I tried to install a wireless router so that we can carry the lap top from room to room. When I used the set-up option with the install C.D., the specialized tool bar with icons to favorite places disappeared. Can it be restored? The wireless lap-top still won't work unless it's plugged into the wireless router. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring better results. ------------ Peggy, Sounds to me like either a conflict between software or the install corrupted something. It really sounds, however, like the router isn't correctly installed. I have a wireless router for my lappy as well and it does not interfere with the carousel at all. Sharon PS: That portion of the toolbar that you can customize and always has the light blue background is called the carousel.
