I works fine now right after I downloaded Adobe's updates and 1 new one from Microsoft all is well again.
Since I was fairly quick to post my displeasure at the lock out I hope to be just as quick to commend WGT on fixing the bug or whatever devils were in the system. Maybe it had to do with the Flash player fix and that took care of the problem. In either case thanks WGT for making the attempt to effect a repair.
Oh BTW thank you AVG for a great anti-virus program. (Just in case they are subcribers)
