Last time on my machine that IE repair frose halfway was
because IE was corupt. Uninstal IE to it's previos version and then reinstall IE6. You will end up needing the tons of updates and security patches again. Have you tried running AdAware? Deleteing anything it finds and reboot and run it again until the search comes out clean. If you know of a good repair shop and would feel more comfortable to have them fix it? Then by all means do so. Alot of malware out there causes Windows not to function in a manner as what you describe. Always keep your AV program updated. But do not depend on it's auto update. Do it manually a couple times a week. If you have to reinstall your system. I would suggest with a fresh install to download and run HijackThis. That way...what it finds is what is mostly needed to boot windows. You can then put the first findings into the "Ignore" list. And after that when you run HijackThis if it shows anything? It will probly be something you don't need or want on your system. UNLESS you downloaded a program that put an entree in the Startup menu. That you may want to keep. And you would just have to add that to the ignore list. Once you get the innitial start up list,safely,in HyjackThis' ignore list. The program is less likely to kill your system. As opposed to running it for the first time after a few months of internet travel and downloads. This is everything that this anoynomous person suggested me to do. I haven't downloaded anything, but some of this person's suggestions sound reasonable... |

All the suggestions look reasonable.

All excellent suggestions, if rather chaotic. But that list needs
significant expansion. It's too short. If you look at a selection of my recent posts, you're bound to find one of my long ones in which I go into my own favorite procedures in detail. Everything in "your" list is there, plus a few others I consider indispensable. -- Gary S. Terhune MS MVP for Win9x "JL" wrote in message ...
