I have deleted Google Desktop Search and deleted registry entries as
duscussed in the link you sent to me. Still running into SAME problem.


I assume that when you turned McAfee off you replaced the 127.0.0.1 with the
correct server names.
Some program outside OE is responsible. If you are totally sure that McAfee
is turned off, It might be a security program blocking the Registry change
it needs to make. A few of the programs now doing this a
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot Tools IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 it actually has to be uninstalled. Make sure
the Windows Firewall is turned on until you reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking with Networking and try the change.

If it still does not work, totally uninstall McAfee, boot into Safe Mode and
try again. If the problem still exists we're going to have to reset some
Registry permissions.
