[nfbcs] Trouble with IE8

Fri Sep 6 11:58:28 UTC 2013

Hi Blake.
Someone else suggested removing toolbars too, so I went and looked in the 
add/remove programs list, and I don't see any.  I think I got rid of all 
those badboys a while back.
I strongly suspect my problem is being caused by the latest Jaws update, so 
I'm gathering my energy to sit on the phone with FS and go back to something 
earlier, which I'm also having trouble doing.
Tracy
 in the program list.
