This happens on restarts or startup not when trying to get online. It seems something is trying to get online on a reboot or startup.

You  may have some hijacking code in your registry...

I'm sure you have performed a full system scan recently for malware, and IE does have its limitations. Maybe try FireFox or Google Chrome until you can clean up the registry??

Office 2007 has a complete new look to it. It still functions the same if you can find the comands to edit your word doc or excel. All the command ICONS have changed. It totaly jacked up one my access program/files that it took me an hour to finaly get what I needed it to do that normaly I can do in a matter of minutes depending on the file size I'm working with.

I went through that learning curve when it first came out....used to it now. Like anything else, you'll get used to it.



Art, don't confuse Office 2007 with Windows 7.

I've been beta testing Ultimate 7 for a while now and it's been pretty darn good.  :good

It will be out in Oct I think. Anyone buying Vista Ultimate or a machine downgraded to XP Pro between now and when 7 releases is supposed to get a free upgrade to 7.

As for IE 8 - it sucks like a Hoover on steroids!

I've started switching machines to FireFox and Chrome. I think Mozilla may end up on all the machines.

I've started switching machines to FireFox and Chrome. I think Mozilla may end up on all the machines.

Oh, I don't have them confused, I was going to try Windows 7 but all the crap I been reading about it and it's issues I just said screw it, I'll wait for the final release and see what the feedback is on it!.. How is it compared to XP, is it worth the upgrade??.. :stupid

I think you'll be happy with Mozilla, I've had it on all my machines for close to a year now and just put it on the laptops and it's been trouble free, no issues whatsoever!.. :good

Oh, I like Thundirbird for e-mail, no issues there either!.. :good
