I found all the Normal.dot file and changed them to normal.old.    It had no effect.

Unfortunately I do not seem to have a Gmlink.dot file on my computer, though I am running Norton Antivirus

Deacon_Rayne · Answer

That seems to have done it (moving the adobe programs and disabling norton) Thank you very much for your help              Deacon
