    Problems with registry permissions in Vista

    I've recently been having problems with my registry permissions on my Vista machine. The problems first occurred after updating iTunes to the latest version.

    Slew of problems after uninstalling SystemWorks.

    Having problems opening Internet Explorer

    I just had Charter cable installed in the house that I moved into. I never had problems with IE until this. I don't believe there's a lot of software involved with Charter, and there's nothing really obvious in the task manager that would make me think different. What IE does now when I try...

    IE problems after installing SP2

    Well, SP2 fixed my welcome screen problem, but created a few minor problems with IE. I have been using Yahoo Companion quite religiously for some time now (and really started to like it since it got rid of spyware that Ad-Aware couldn't even find). Ever since I installed SP2, my Yahoo...

    Welcome screen doesn't appear

    I have 4 users set up on my computer and the welcome screen is giving me hell. It won't show up when booting, logging off, or trying to switch users. The only thing that appears is the box to manually type in your name and pass, as if the welcome screen isn't enabled. I've tried disabling and...

    Problems with spyware -- New.net

    I'm having problems getting New.net out of my startup menu. I've been using MSConfig to uncheck it at every boot, but it rechecks itself. I deleted the folder containing the files in safe mode, and now all I get is an error message on boot saying that it can't find the .dll files for it. I guess...

    Using administrator priveleges on a limited account...?

    I have 4 different accounts on my computer, with mine being the only administrator account. My roomies have managed to get so much spyware and bullcrap on their accounts that their internet doesn't work, along with some other things. I know it's spyware because other applications that use the...

    Unexplained search bar in IE

    I just formatted my computer, and I'm already being hit with BS... This search bar on IE, called Spidersearch.com bar or whatnot, has the neat ability to replace the advertisements on most web pages with nothing but porn ads. It also has an IE link, which can't be removed, that reads "Naughty...

    Getting another mouse prog to take precedence over Win XP... how?

    I just purchased a Boomslang 2100, but I can't get the mouse configuration prog that comes with it to take precedence over the WinXP mouse settings. I can't adjust the sensitivity at all with the Boomslang software. Are there any registry or other tweaks I could do to make this work?
