Hi Greg, most odd. I have a idea that may or may not be it. When you add a page to favorites, you have the option of viewing it off line. If you select that under custom, you can set up when the page should be updated, they have a place there for IE to automatickly connect to the internet if it is not connected. You may want to check, and make sure you don't have any off line pages setup.
Come see me at Systematic Investing group #board-966 lets talk formula plans.
