Appreciate everyones help! I did install Flash now Slapped. and then installed Java, and then got in, but only via Firefox, IE won't let me so.....I may check into that later and maybe not.
not sure if it was Flash or Java that did it, probably flash was needed. Thank!
oh, and it is so much faster than the older one I had picked up. I am rocking now 
Now if I can just get my brain to wrap around how to set up stealth paypal accounts, I will be really rockin'. I bought the book and all, but I am a visual person. I need to "see it" at least in my my head to understand it, the big picture I guess I am missing still. I was just asked for 7 support documents on my first two account, at same time, no less that I had set up well, or so I thought. $2K in each one. Was told I get it back in 6 months as I do not have all that documentation. Bummer dude,and duddettes! common thread was the mail box store I had rented boxes from. Also went over the 20K mark on the one, accidental, so that could have played into it too? Gotta get it right....
Have a PM in to purchse the Paypal set up, incl phone etc. Somehow I have a mental block on the process or something.
Thanks again for all the good ideas and help. Looks like I don't have to go get that 1 yr service, and I have learned a lot from your posts. Also, this laptop came with MS Excel and Word Starter, which doesn't have all things in it but enough for what I need. I am one of "those" that cannot live without EXCEL, power user  Not sure how long those last, but we will see.
