Hi there,
Internet Explorer 6 on XP Professional disappears if I try to go anywhere with it. It's set on about:blank as the default home page and comes up thus so, but if I try to go anywhere with it, it gets to where ever it's going and disappears all of a sudden. I'm thinking there must be a bug in the system? Thanks, Gordon |

I'm thinking there must be a bug in the system? Maybe but could also be TIF corruption as well. Boot up to Safe Mode, log in as Administrator. Blow away the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder for each user profile. Also, clear out ALL the Temp folders. Boot back up normally and check it. Worked on one computer here the other day. |

You might be infected with CoolWeb Search, but first try the following:
Disable email scanning in your antivirus product, then test and see if it's fixed. If not, do this: Go to Start | Run and type regsvr32 inetcomm.dll If still not, there has been a problem with web surfers visiting www.webforhumans.com and not having a popup blocker installed or clicking onvarious links at that page which changes their home page in Internet Explorer to www.about-blank.biz and to remove the bugs it installs requires the use of HijackThis which can be found at: http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...HijackThis.exe or you can try: How to remove Coolwebsearch and affiliates http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm#Coolwebsearch Also review the info in this forum about the problem: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/c...tml#aboutblank -- Jim Pickering MVP-Outlook Express/Windows Mail Please reply to newsgroup only so that others may be helped with your feedback.
