Kilamon Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 There are a couple knowledge base articles on this. Here are the links... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;260825 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;174659 You need to be a little more specific when posting, too. Things like, "I'm running windows 95" would help. Also, have you tried running SpyBot S&D, anti-virus checks, etc? Are you using TweakUI?
