Check that your set up in users accounts to be allowed to do everything.

Btw your running vista iirc. I have not used this much yet as its not rated that good, was there a particular reason you want this system as you seem to be having a few problems with it.

btw nice signiture

Glad you noticed :mischeif:

Not very microsoft minded, its been ok ever since this morning

[Acidburn]

pmsl, tbh i'd just go with xp pro till vista is a bit more used and you get updates/programs specifically for it. Atm there is not much most is for xp pro.

Fully agree, when Vista SP1 comes out its supposed to fix a lot of the crap that should have been fixed before it ever came out.

Check your user accounts in your control panel and make sure that your account level is correct

Would watch out James i have been working on a friends computer and basicilly what happen to his is that he lost admin rights on his username and when ever he tried to go on the control panel it would not let him on it ..Changed username and the same thing happened again...Computer had really bad virus .......I would scan PC with a good anti-virus software before you start doing anything

Cheers Mate,

It has moved my favourites from IE?? Pretty strange, i use Spy boot and am pretty happy with that.. I think i will have to take it to some one to have a look at

AVG anti-spyware is the daddy.
I think Al is right, BTW

[Cullam3n]

James do a housecall

[Acidburn]

As bry said you can't beat avg actually running a scan on this machine atm because its playing up, found a few things already.

Also ad-aware pro is good for spyware etc.

loose the vista

speeds up your ebay browsing on xp pro

Ad Aware was good but it fails to detect a lot of the newer spyware now. SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition has a unconvincing name but really is a great product.

Get yourself a quality firewall and you'll greatly reduce the chances of being troubled by crap like this again.

Also, ditch Vista for the time being as mentioned above. It really is more hassle than its worth at the present time. I'll be sticking with XP for the foreseeable future anyway.

Cheers Guys,

I have solved the problem, just created another account and i am in the middle of copying over my documents. I think it was just a corruption in windows its self

James my son had the same problem ,we had to take it to a pc shop and they had to redo the whole system ,that was a nasty virus from MSN or something ,
