Well, I ditched IE and downloaded Google Chrome (what I've always used before) and half my problems went away! I adjusted the page size manually, so I'll have to see what happens if/when I reboot, but so far so good. Man, it's smooth sailing right now with ALL my previous issues. Something about MS and me just didn't get along. I sure wish I'd done this earlier this afternoon .. my blood pressure would be a lot lower right now.
