    Default Shortcuts and applications missing Internet Explorer Settings problems

    Yes...

    For example, I've no Solitaire and Hearts application, I've tried manual search and using the original file extentions. I've tried a couple of help guides too.

    If there's any other methods you can recommend, together with the links you were to refer me to with regards internet speed/browsing problems etc please could you help? Especially the annoying problem where the Int Explorer settings never save their settings once applied and this option always prevents directly loading up my home page instead.

    Many thanks

    Default Possible SP3 issue??

    I think if anything they could have gone after installing Windows XP SP3

    I'm also looking to uninstall Internet Explorer, but there's no uninstaller, I've decided to use Firefox. Hoping you can help

    Many thanks

    Yes, you can't uninstall IE7 after SP3 installation.

    But you can install IE8 beta instead

    Yes it is good to activate TeaTimer now. Please post a fresh HijackThis log afterwards.

    Default Updated HJT log and TeaTimer reactivated

    Please find the log following reactivation of TeaTimer

    Are there any other programs you would recommend I install? I'mstruggling to reinstall IE7, but I'm in the process of downloading and installing Widows Updates for version 6 so hopefully this may help.

    Would I then be in a position wherby I could also backup the pc in case something similar was to happen in the future?

    Many thanks

    "Are there any other programs you would recommend I install? I'mstruggling to reinstall IE7, but I'm in the process of downloading and installing Widows Updates for version 6 so hopefully this may help."

    I will give a list in my final instructions soon

    "Would I then be in a position wherby I could also backup the pc in case something similar was to happen in the future?"

    Rather after final instructions.

    Did you try this?

    Default Windows Applications

    I'm struggling to find where I can find the files on the CD having had a browse

    I've only got the following apps in the Entertainment folder:
    Voice recorder;

    Games Folder:
    Pinball (has component missing/loads with error and then closes)
    Spider Solitaire

    Is there a way I can find the other files manually from the CD

    Many thanks

    Go to start - control panel - add/remove programs and choose add or remove windows components from left hand side.
