Does anyone know of any issues with sliplstreaming Windows XP SP3 onto a Windows SP1a with SP2 slipstreamed onto it already? John

Morning, come across a problem with searching using any search engine. When I try to load any of the websites the search engine brings up, be it msn, google, ask etc I get a random, usually peverse website. I have included the hijackthis log. Any ideas? John Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1...

Sorry for the long delay. After 3 unistall and reinstalls Windows Update finally accepted that I had IE7. Thanks for all the help. FunkyB

Thanks for the quick responce 1 - Its IE7 itself, not an update for IE7 2 - Its not a beta/release candidate 3 - I'll try and re-install IE7 by removing it and putting it back on

Simple one I hope. At home I dont have broadband so I downloaded IE7 at work and istalled it at home. The problem is that Windows Update keeps showing me IE7 as an update. Is there a way to tell it that I have IE7? I know I can get it to stop showing me the update by ticking the little box but...

I have run spybot and Windows Defender and also Adaware just for the sake of it. Nothing, still the same problem. I have noticed though that in the status bar it flashes up http://jupk.com/ which looks like a very dodgy search engine. Does this help?

Think I may have a virus problem but Norton cannot find it. Please help. I have three machines networked, one having the internet connection and the others sharing it. My problem lies with the two sharing machines. Whenever I use IE7 to look at a website ending in .co.uk I get sent to a...

SOLUTION - It was my Avast Antivirus software. Before you say you should switch off AV software before installation, I did. The only way I could get something to install was to uninstall Avast. I have now gone onto AVG and so far so good. I wish to thank all who have given advise on my...

I bit the bullet last night an re-installed windows. Problem solved. All is working fine. The only difference is that before I had a problem with my Graphics card and resolved it using Nasty Fire Remover. To get NFR working I had register MSCOMCTL.OCX. I also have not installed ASPI via...

I have uninstalled and reinstalled ide controller drivers and all I can find in eventvwr.msc is "the IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service service entered the stopped state" if that is anything to go by. So tonight I will try a new user profile and if that fails I will reinistall windows. If the worst...

I have cleared out all my temp files and the Installshield Information but same problem as you expected wwwdjrcs. My worry is that the same disc in the same drive using the same ide cable on another machine worked. But in my machine, I can play DVDs load mp3s/pictures from cd/dvd, just not...

I will try that tonight wwwdjrcs. Seeing that you seem to be a walking encyclopaedia of knowledge. Any ideas as to why I cannot seem to install from disc?

I have changed the cable, swapped the ide channel but to no avail so I have swapped back the ide channels. I think I have an idea as to what it is and could do with some suggestions. It appears to be happening when the cd comes to the part where it needs to load the installation file on any...
