All, I have been having problems during the past few weeks, with my Link on my desktop not opening the link itself. Here is how it goes. I would read one of many links and saving the last post on my desktop. Over time (in the evening) I would have saved dozens of links. After a certain period of time, the links would not open properly. I would open a personal link and the screen would be blank, yet it would prompt me for my passwords. So I knew I was at the site. I have tried several things including removing some programs. I started see what was up. It looks like SI opens something called “$ Ad”. Typically it’s a Visa ad. But later when I try to open another link, the $ Ad window (which is not visible) takes my link’s page and hides it leaving only the original link’s prompt for a password. After this happening once, most of my links would not work until I had rebooted. I have watch my system during the past few weeks and I believe SI is sending an Ad link which creates a BUG for additional links, Even their own SI Links. How can I advice SI that their $ Ad is causing significant problems with my system ? Is anyone else seeing this type of problem ? Thanks :0( Stan
