Sadly you've denied me the pleasure of giving you useless advice.

But the most troubling thing is that Zonealarm has alerted me that Explorer and WMPlayer is trying to access the internet, and once, some program called abetterinternet.com or somesuch tried to connect to the internet, too. I'll have to run adaware/spyware blaster, but what in heck is going on??

However, I noticed that Windows Media Player is running in the background, which seems to be in middle of things. Is it usually supposed to do that?

For each example, I would like to enter the Last Trade value into a certain cell in Excel. This has to be done once a week at the end of the week. There is an example here:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ate.
The html code for each Last Trade value seems to be the same i.e. for this example:
<td class="yfnc_tablehead1" width="48%">Last Trade:</td><td class="yfnc_tabledata1"><big><b>17.43</b></big></td>
all of the yahoo finance web pages I need to input data from also have the same kind of format i.e. the URL mentioned above with just the code at the end (after the equals sign) changing. Also, the spreadsheet entry will involve entering the Last trade value into columns B through to BE each week, and for each of these columns the contents of row 2 corresponds to the value after the equals sign in the URL.
Please help!

i'd write a script that used wget or curl to get the html pages, sucked out and chopped up the relevant line using perl or sed or grep, wrote the output as comma separated file which i could then import into excel. how you'd do this using windows is left as an exercise for the reader. (cygwin? activestate perl?)

wrote a little something in php (because it's portable and easy enough to install) and sent it to your hotmail account. don't know how useful it'll be as i've no idea what formats excel will import but it should make it a little easier.

mark, i had another thought about your thing last night. instead of lots of individual pages can't you set up a yahoo portfolio that contains all the prices for the companies you're interested in? this would just mean downloading one page (let their database do the collating of info) but would mean the parsing of the file to extract the price you wanted is a bit more complicated. or maybe there are too many companies.

(ah, windows update probably means you're running windows. My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Performance -> Virtual Memory is where you change it on win2k systems. typically this should be about twice your RAM. we have a 3G partition here at work that we use for nothing but the page file)
