  Vidas,
  
  thank for your earlier reply. I have done all you said, but am now getting error message when I run the Yahoo Quotes script that I've appended below. I've no idea what to do and would appreciate your thoughts.
  
  Thanks,
  Matthew.

  Error message is:
  
  The response content cannot be parsed because the Internet Explorer engine is
  not available, or Internet Explorer's first-launch configuration is not complete.
  
  Could you please check if your Internet Explorer configuration was completed - that is start Internet Explorer and go through initial steps if asked. Then re-run script. Does that help?
