Hi. I tried to download the first one and it started at 7 hours then came down to 2 hours to download. The second one started off at 4 days to download. Obviously I didn't wait for it. I have got high speed broadband so I don't know what the problem is. Sorry I cannot help.

Thanks to all who responded. I am getting a 404 error now, so presumably they have taken it down. Thanks again.

I am offered the opportunity to save the items. I didn't bother since I don't need them. In both cases, I did a right click on the link and requested opening the url (I suspect that is a feature of my mail program, but it might be worth a try in your mail). I am using Windows 7RFC.

Could someone please try these URLs and see if they can open them? When I try, I get a "navigation canceled" screen and cannot open or save them. I had someone else try and he couldn't either, but the sender says she can. http://dp70.dyndns.org/tmp/topsy2.zip http://dp70.dyndns.org/tmp/coon_cemetery.zip Thanks.

When I tried to open these, each opened the Download Window. Both of them were over 2 hour downloads. My download speed isn't very fast so your download might be faster.

<snip> ALSIP, Illinois (CNN) -- Authorities revealed more disturbing discoveries Friday at an Illinois cemetery where hundreds of burial plots were allegedly dug up and resold, including more emptied graves and the discarded casket of a civil rights icon. http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/07/10/illinois.cemetery/index.html?eref=rss_topstories

Hi again When you right click on the "notification area" Do you get an option to "Customise Notifications" ? If you select that it should give a list of those past and present, I wonder if somehow its marked all the ones you want as hide always ? Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Yes, I knew that.

Are you running Vista or XP? ----------------- Have you looked in MSCONFIG to see what is supposed to be running when you boot your system?  Perhaps some Start-Up programs have been disabled?

Forgot to say, I think I will try uninstalling the Malwarebytes program. I like it very much, but IF if is causing all these problems, I will give it up. Does anyone know another good, free anti-malware program? Thanks, again. Joe

There is no "hidden" icon. Thanks.

Actually, just to clarify, Nivard was referring to LEFT of the "Notification Area" not LEFT of the entire Task Bar.  The "Notification Area" is on the right side of the Task Bar, near the Clock. The ICONS in this area are quite often hidden, due to space constraints, and are made visible by clicking on the '<' Arrow. Notification Area http://www.theeldergeek.com/HT0_002.htm Hope this clarifies it a bit... Regards, Kevin.
