Yes, I'm the only user. Control Panel says I can change or create accts.
Will give it a try. Thank you. I have another problem, so if you don't mind,
can you tell me why this occurs? When I open two or three pages, various or
just 2 web pages, upon closing one, it leaves a big white blank space where
it sat over the other page. It takes a moment for the back page to become
fully viewable again. Sometimes, the closing page "peels down" instead of
instantly closing. Any idea what causes this?
