Well, I haven't really heard from Walmart BUT I have found a solution.
I have been using Mozilla Firefox 1.5.x since my original
installation. It seems that Walmart has now made this version
obsolete. If I upgrade to (interim) 2.0.0.17 or the current 3.0.3 all
is working again.
I guess I'm a little at fault BUT I do wish they would provide
meaningful error messages in situations like this. My poor-ole 1.5.x
version was working so well.
Any way, it seems to be resolved ... for now!
Thanks for all the feedback and comments!
