Method one is what I did! It asked me to create a user profile so I
did. Never has this happened before when I upgraded. I set up all the
preferences back the way I had them. No problem there. But all
bookmarks and addresses were gone. Okay. I have most in another disk
(removeable). Loaded them again. Everything worked fine until I shut
down. The next time I started the computer it is all to do over again
and has been that way since I upgraded to 4.72. So I reloaded 4.5. It
has always worked fine but now it does the same thing. Should I delete
everything and start over?
