One final question, or set of questions (boy, am I glad I thought of this one before starting :eek:): Obviously if you reformat your HD and...
Solved! Bingo! Many thanks, wildfire - I owe you a haggis next Burns Bight. For the record, it was that Skype add-on which, when enabled,...
OK, but it may not be today or tomorrow -- there must be a hundred in there -- but I'll be sure to post it.
OK, wildfire has won! I tried IE without add-ons, as you suggested, and the page loaded perfectly. Went back to IE with add-ons (where I am now)...
Many thanks for swift reply, Pete. And for actually trying it out - I was wondering whether I should have put that link in there and exposed...
Not sure this shouldn't be in the Anti-Virus forum, but what the heck? I've run Avast! and Ad-Aware and Sophos Rootkit and MRT without results....
Christer's right, it's a different question. Neil's question (on-topic) was about possible problems with installation of XP SP3, while I went...

Hi Christer. Great! I now have no further excuse to put it off (only about 30% of C: left free) and shall take a deep breath and start. As...
Many thanks to Christer, Steve and Pete for the very helpful guide in the stickies. I'm preparing to do this operation, and have a couple of tiny...
Oh heck, I really did get pompous, didn't I? :o Apologies to all (especially to silverojo), and many thanks to wildfire (and mel) for your...

Hi Mike and tvm for rapid reply. Thanks especially for pointing me to AutoRuns - that's an awesome app and I'm going to dedicate a day or so to...
I recently had to change a whole lot of stuff on my system to make it compatible with a new inernet service. I lost track of every little change...
