Kitty, I did as you suggested - still no luck with my PC and registering for step 3 class. I am planning to use a PC at a friend's house to register / pay. I will use my own e-mail address and should be able to receive the "class" on yahoo groups - I'm already signed on for 2 other groups. can you see any problem with this??? As far as new software being loaded in my PC - maybe so - I was away for a few months and my grandson had run of the house - still - I am able to allow other COOKIES from other websites. Thanks for your help. Nina B.
