Ok, ok. I admit it. I have downloaded SP2 (aarrgh), am using Norton Firewall, and a few spy programs (SpyBot and SpyBlaster), but these are not new changes. Now Firefox, that was new. I removed it, though I think there are vestiges hanging out somewhere on this computer.

This is getting to be a book!

Hi,

I've downloaded and installed an Apache package (with MySQL, PHP, Perl, and more) from SourceForge.net and for quite some time (months), it worked without problems. A few days ago, I did something (installed Firefox?) after which localhost was no longer available! What happened? How do I fix it? Any ideas?

Many thanks.
George
