C fixed it!!! See below...
>a) when the subscribe screen pops up, hit ctrl-R a few times until the
>password prompt pops up
Did it many times. No password prompt.
>b) be sure that youve selected "Automatically" under Tools/Internet
>Options/Temporary Internet Files/Settings in IE
That's what it was set at.
>c) if the above two do not help, be sure that Tools/Internet
>Options/Security/Internet - Custom Level/User Authentication/Automatic
>login only in Intranet Zone is selected in IE (or you may select "Prompt for username and password" for added security)
That was it! I set it so I have to always login, which is my preference.
Thanks!
