Thank you GJ.
Just to finish off the saga .... (I hope )
I have Revo installed, but the problem was that this Babylon thing wasn't obvious anywhere. Add/Delete etc..didn't bring anything up. However, I've spent a good couple of hours digging
.... and eventually up it popped cheekily !! I eventually traced it to Firefox !!! did a little more digging and discovered other people were having the same problem; but there was a way around it. .... Help ...restart FF without Add-ons - Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults... then Make Changes and Restart .... that did it ....
touch wood and whatever else it takes
Then had a lot of sorting out to do with missing extensions, etc.... but all back now. I've opened and closed Opera and FF several times and no sign of it. I might venture to IE later on and if it's there you'll hear me shout over there
I've decided to keep Opera as the default and FF as standby .... for now
Chrome has gone for good .....the non menu bar put me off (PLEASE don't anyone say this is how to get a menu bar
)
Many thanks for all the help.
