re: Remove old isp stuff Thursday, July 4, 2002 at 3:54 pm Posted by spaceman (552 messages posted) Hi casey, Do this: Start / Run / type in "regedit" (no quotes) / OK / click on EDIT at the top / Find / in the box where it says, "Find What" type in: "provided by xyz internet provider"(your's, of course) and no quotes. Be sure all of the boxes are checked then click on Find Next. As they are found, you can remove them one at a time by right-clicking on the entry and pressing delete. Go back to FIND Next and repeat until you are through the registry and then exit. Good luck.

Try this first: -Close your browser -Hit Start, click Run, type rundll32 iedkcs32.dll,Clear and press OK - Open your browser Or, you can try a regedit, but backup it up first.

I had to try LarryJ's edit first. I was nervous about going into the registry. Although I suppose that his was the same sort of thing. Then I got brave. I used the steps you provided afterwards and did not find anything. I'll certainly keep both of your guides on file. Thanks again!

Thursday, July 4, 2002 at 5:08 pm Posted by Ms. Eagle (33640 messages posted) Just thought I'd tell you, you'll have to edit the registry for that one. I can see if I can locate the info. and get back to you. Maybe you should live with it for now, until you familiarize yourself with using the registry. I believe it requires editing in two places, but don't recall for sure. I did it awhile back......I suggest you study on it first. [Reply or follow-up to this message] Btw, who was your ISP?...

Thursday, July 4, 2002 at 5:15 pm Posted by LarryJ (540 messages posted) First, backup your registry. Hit Start, click Run and type Scanregw {enter} Now, go back to the link in my original reply; there's a fix for the OE title bar (it works with IE 6 too, so where it says 5.0, just pretend it says 6.0) On Thursday, July 4, 2002 at 5:08 pm, CJ wrote: Just thought I'd tell you, you'll have to edit the registry for that one.

Friday, July 5, 2002 at 5:57 am Posted by casey (111 messages posted) I was using AT&T Worldnet Service which branded both IE and OE. The IE Repair worked just fine. Please note that if someone is using their ISP's customized browser they will need to reinstall that software. At least I did. I'm now using BellSouth FastAccess(dsl). Not many options in my area. The repair works just as it states. Thanks everyone for all your help!

IE Restore 6.5 fixed my branded issue http://www.weeredsquare.co.uk/products/ierestore.php . Here are some articles about encryption problems http://www.weeredsquare.co.uk/products/ierestore.php . Delete cookies, history and temp internet files. Install Spybot Search and Destroy, download the latest updates, this tool removes spyware and adware that can cause problems http://spybot.eon.net.au/. Make sure your anti virus is up to date and scan your system. These are only suggestions. Hope I could help.
