I started uninstalling with version 1. then 1.1. Win Update then
reinstalled both versions then the security update that caused the problem
installed. I've also downloaded & installed v3.5 over the existing version
3.5 and now I'll stop leaving the other versions alone pro tem.. Thanks for
your advice.
