Bob .. just a thought ... wingate proved devious to me also, as it seems to be doing to you .... I had to go in and uninstall it ... and then, still had to go hunting for a few remaining bits and pieces of it that uninstall did NOT get ... That was several HDs ago ... so I don't have anything remaining of wingate ... thank heavens ... it is an excellent program but, boy is it hard to get to go away..... I'll think (guessing only) from listening to what you and thecow are discussing ... wingate might be* what is keeping you from logging onto bigcharts .... I can tell you that the deletion from the startup file will not make ANYTHING disappear..... except from the startup. do you need/use wingate now?

Bob Probably not much but here goes. Clear your internet cache. Empty everything in your temp folder (c:\windows\temp). If you have upgraded to 5.5 try running the IE repair tool. Go to start button, type msinfo32, hit ok, go to tools, internet explorer repair tool. For what it's worth, I have never been able to run 5.5 for any length of time before I started having troubles and reverted to 5.01 SP2. No one else on the thread seemed to have a problem with 5.5 so maybe I wasn't holding my tongue just right. A couple of folks are running IE 6 and aren't having any problems. Have you tried accessing bigcharts with another browser? Maybe give Opera a try? If another browser works then one of your IE settings is probably at fault. Make sure you allow per-session cookies. I believe Bigcharts will not load without this setting enabled. Go here to test your browser: browsertune.com Final solution: Find another chart source! (just kidding :-) tc
