I had a similar experience--couldn't get mail, and IE became nonfunctional. I clicked on "tools" in IE and there was nothing! AGGGGHH. I would have liked to try it, but for some reason it crippled my system. Anyone know what could have happened? Anne

I guess you have chosen to ignore criticism here and NOT give people the choice not to have Launchpad installed. Your refusal to answer direct questions asked says a lot about you. You purposely answer questions I didn't ask and ignore the question I did ask. People who avoid answering questions are usually people who have something to hide. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that your product goes payware and/or is disabled somewhere down the track (unexpectedly) and/or has a hidden payload nobody has discovered yet. A quite remarkable situation. You could create good will for your products/site yet you choose to do the exact opposite. Regards, John.

John I can't help you if you don't read my posts! I already answered the question previously and the answer is No. Melih

(minus John.. I think he will never be pleased with anything! :-) ) All I can say is: I have always tried to give as much information as I can. I mean come on guys, I gave you a link that has all the questions and answers! What part of giving you all the information is evasive? There isn't a single question that was asked that hasn't been answered in the link I have given! Melih
