Also included in the message is a veiled threat that without ads my software will "eventually" revert to Light mode, with its diminished feature set. The Qualcomm link simply takes me to a download page, offering a number of variants of the Pro version at a price. I don't want to buy it, which is why I downloaded innumerable versions of the beta and registered in Sponsored mode in the first place. I haven't touched the Eudora installation in weeks, so that's not the cause of the interrupted ads. Nor have I tried in any way to delete, block or disrupt the ads - they're small and pretty innocuous and I just ignore them. I'm wondering if Naviscope, an internet utility which I installed several days ago, could be the problem. One of Naviscope's features is that it blocks banners and popup ads on websites. It never occurred to me when installing it that it might interfere with the several ad-supported pieces of software I've acquired. Any suggestions welcome! Thanks, Christopher Brooks Franconia, NH **************END OF ORIGINAL MESSAGE TEXT************** Christopher, I have used Naviscope and it DOES work with Eudora. So, maybe your problems are related to it. Try this: Re-configure Naviscope NOT to work in MS Internet Explorer. That should turn it off for Eudora. I did notice that when I was using Naviscope, which was while I was also using the Betas of Eudora 4.3, that it stopped adds in emails and in the Eudora ads, AND, since you are using the "Sponsored" mode (free, with ads), Naviscope is probably interfering with Eudora. Eudora is almost certainly programmed so that if one interferes with the Ads, such as hackers rewriting the code to get rid of them, it rebels and reverts to the Lite mode in retaliation. If reconfiguring Naviscope doesn't stop the problem, just shut it down while you are in Eudora, then re-start it when you go to a web site. SgtGeorge
