    Have you tried to "Reset Web Settings" for the IE problem?

    ok this is a good one. Go to search icon on the browser (magnifying glass).
    When the window on the right appears, get to the settings in that box. go through the search engines that you want and then uncheck all. then use one search engine for everything. Google is there, but under advance settings.
    Click on that and then close and close the browser.
    reopen browser and then go to tools, seettings, internet options, and in the general tab, change your default home page to Google com. apply and close.
    then go to the settings tab, internet options, and in the advance option turn off shit like java, then go through the list there and check off what you want and dont. Go to the most likely page is the setting on search.

    Finally, make sure you don't have a trojan program, or a virus. Run spyhunter. (free) or spysweeper( 19.99). (SS works nice!). remove all bullshit from your comp.
    Restart.
    You will now jump to google when yopu open your web page.
    when you type on the search bar, you will jump to the nearest exit and get what you are looking for.

    I get the feeling that you may have adware somewhere, get adware remover too.
    hope this helps.


    Cherr up,

    You can always get XP or 2000.
