Forgot to add that the ?# that is supposed to follow .html on messages that reside on forums2.gardenweb.com is also missing, i.e., the results returned: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/exseed/msg0118570514094.html and it should have been http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/exseed/msg0118570514094.html?1

Here are some fantastic home plans: http://www.frankbetz.com/homeplans/country_home_plans.php If you don't like that flavor, their search engine rocks. As far as the rest of it goes, for you, You have a choice - Deal with it, or Don't. Pretty simple, eh? If you choose to Deal with it, you will get a tremendously varied & experienced wealth of information - but (like the rest of us), you need to work for it. Yes, you will read a lot of stuff that you don't need - that is what "skimming" is all about. If you choose to Not Deal with it, then we all wish you the best of luck I'm sure. But you should be careful about your judgement calls about those here on the board - you literally have no idea with whom you are speaking at any given time. When you come to a Party & throw red paint in our face & on everyone's decor, what type of welcome to you expect?? Seriously..... LOL

Knowing the whole error message, He can probably find the appropiate snafu here.. Here is a link that might be useful: Microsoft search, Invalid page fault in Module MSVCRT.DLL

I think I've made things worse. I downloaded malwarebytes and super anti spyware which did scans. Nothing but tracking cookies were found. Anyway,and this actually made IE worse than it was,but I updated to IE 9 and now when I click any favorites they just sit and spin. So,IE is basically useless to me now. I'm thinking I could maybe use my cd's that I ordered when I first got the computer over eight years ago to put the computer back like it came but seriously I'm thinking at this point I've messed it up so bad that only getting a new computer is my answer. Really wanted to wait until the new Windows 9 or 10 came out. Now I think some aspirin is in order for me. LOLOL Really appreciate all of you guys/gals for your suggestions.
