Beth,
Since your husband is a computer geek, I have another question to throw his
way, if you don't mind. Every so often I like to defrag my hard drive to
get better performance, I use the defragger that's built into XP but it
takes 3-6 hours to complete, and I don't see my computer performing as it
did for the first while after receiving it. Can you check with your husband
to see what he suggests?
Thanks,
Anthony

Spoke with computer geek husband who says to look for add-ons and/or
plug-ins. Also, he says if that doesn't work you should contact Microsoft
and explain the free speech implications of blocking words on your computer.
