I am going to attempt to write Grokster. I hate the thought of having to reload windows and all of my programs or worse yet my whole computer. I have already tried out a program to clean out and repair my reg files. this did not stop the error message. It's as if it is telling me that I have two browsers in my system. It might be worth a try to call Jeff Levy on KFI640 (web site kfi640.com). His show is on Saturday/Sunday from 10 to 1 pst. He can usually solve anything. Unfortunately I must have installed the IE6 before I installed my service pack 3 and I did not expect to ever remove the service pack or IE. I am stumped completely and frustrated. If you can get through to Jeff please let me know.

I reinstalled Grokster which put th espyware (xupiter and others) back on my computer. This got rid of the error message. I then used two different programs to rid these viruses. I used Spybot which found and destroyed them and then Registry cleaner to completely rid my system of them. I am now installing spyware blaster so that thiey do not slip under the radar into my system again.

XP upgrade didn't seem to work and I even tried the uninstall for Xupiter.. turns out I never had Xupiter on my computer. Help for the poor girl w/ a Sony Vaio running XP?!

I tried reinstall Grokster and even that didn't get rid of the error message...I tried everything I can and even accidently erased by Boot.ini file (I don't know how to recover Boot.ini can someone please help) and most importantly,the "Failure sinking events from IWebBrowser2" message is still around! it's been driving me nuts! if anyone can help me please respond because I am completely out of my wits right now. I tried all the other suggestions and none of them worked...please help. Thanks, T.K [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Failure sinking events from IWebBrowser2 Tuesday, January 21, 2003 at 12:55 pm Posted by JohnnyCapote (1 messages posted) Dowloaded Spybot-Search and Destroy and seemed to solve the problem. Re-installed Grokster and ran uninstall Grokster before running Spybot everything is back to normal. It seems to delete all the crap. Hope it works for you.
