kirby Two things I can think of. 1. Do you or have you used any "prefetch" type net accelerators If so, do a search on your computer for a file named host (not the one named host.sam). It should be in c:\windows. Rename it hostbak. This file is used by some programs to store static ip addresses for quicker retrieval. If the bigchart ip address has changed you can not go there til you get rid of the host file (it's pointing you to the wrong address). I think you can even edit the bad address out by opening the host file with notepad) Reboot and try going to bigcharts again. If this doesn't help just rename the host file back to it's original name. 2. If that doesn't work go to pcpitstop.com and run the tests. There's an activex troubleshooter there that may help you. Some of the bigchart stuff is done with activex controls. (I got a activex security warning of one of those links you posted on that other thread.) Let us know tc :-) Edit in...pretty good grub for a cow!
