[Ham-Computers] FW: MS Edge Problem

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Herb,

I received the messages copied below, but did not receive your original 
post until it came in as part of the apparently second post.

And I have no idea what the answers to your original questions are.  I use 
Firefox and my wife doesn't use Edge although it is on her machine.
