    Hi zx10r,

    Don't post your email in the open forum please. You can read here as to why you shouldn't.

    Don't use a guest account. Instead create a new account as a standard user.

    A standard user account lets a person use most of the capabilities of the computer, but permission from an administrator is required if you want to make changes that affect other users or the security of the computer.
    When you use a standard account, you can use most programs that are installed on the computer, but you can't install or uninstall software and hardware, delete files that are required for the computer to work, or change settings on the computer that affect other users. If you're using a standard account, some programs might require you to provide an administrator password before you can perform certain tasks.

    Try this

    Cick on Start
    Control Panel
    Look for Internet Options Icon and Double Click on it..
    Then you will have this window called Internet Properties which has 7 tabs...
    click on the last tab "ADVANCED"
    then click on RESTORE ADVANCED SETTINGS
    then click on Default Settings
    then on Reset which is below Restore Advanced settings
