it seems to me a clean install would be a good thing, if you can save your data first
onto cd's or another computer. and saving now wold be wise in case things get worse!
or if your hard drive is partitioned you can move files there. did you try clicking
default for your settings in ie? that's where mine are.
you can download firefox www.mozilla.org on another computer and burn it to a cd
and see what happens. or if you have one, a usb memory card or flash drive is great
to use.
here's what I do--I have Norton ghost so when my computer is set up to please me
I ghost c:, the operating partition, to another partion on my drive. then burn it
to a bootable cd. if you have Norton ghost all you need is the ghost.exe file from
the cd, you don't have to install it. put it on a floppy to run in dos after booting
with a winme 98 boot disk, or a bootable cd. there may be a free ghost program on
the net, too. and personally other than that I'd get rid of Norton. I've used avg
free for years, it doesn't bog down the computer, has got the very few viruses or
email worms that have happened by way. and spywareblaster keeps other critters off.
post if you need more info about ghosting or anything. and let us know what happens.
