Default Show Web Content grayed out.

Firstly - don't use Active Desktop! It's know for being buggy.

Secondly....You may already have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

download AdAware SE Personal Edition from www.lavasoftusa.com, install,
update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from
your system.

I'm trying to find a reason for a looping error message I get....
"Explorer
has caused an error in unknown.
The only strange thing I can find is the "Restore Active Desktop" keeps
comming up and the "SHOW WEB CONTENT ON MY ACTIVE DESKTOP" has a tick in
it
and is grayed out.

Any Ideas ?
