I cant seem to find it under add/remove programs

When you say registry, do you mean run "msconfig" as ive done this and cant see it here either.

Its internet explorer 7 by the way

i think the link I posted above would be a better bet

try it first because I don't know where in the registry it needs to be edited...you need to run regedit

this might help too:

No just AVG for virus protection and Zonealarm for firewall.

Tried the forum but they seem to be suggesting the site you mentioned.

I hate PC's!

Does it say something like Internet Explorer by Tiscalli in the window title? If so, Add/Remove Programs and delete all the Tiscalli junk. I had to do do that on my Dell and it sorted the problem...

In Add/Remove programs this is listed;

Dell Support 3.2.1

Could this be it?
