Thanks. One host I had maybe didn't set it up right and it erroored. The
white was there but clicking on it through a Program error. Not a crash
just an error. The second hosts I had displayed Please be patien!!!. Then
the dll showed Update available. Now I again have a white rectangle but
this time a verticle scroll and no error upon clicking it. It might be
coming from 82.195.155.5 since that one seems to be the best woring server
now. It's the one I am redirecting to for winmx.com and err.winmx.com. The
latest hosts are pointing to a dead server for these two. Well it was dead.
