Apparently it has something to do with Vista (doesn't happen on XP machines). If you google the problem there is a load of information about iirc. I do remember that I swore lots and then gave up - and as far as I know that machine still has this problem. Edited January 2, 2009 by lateralus462 Quote

waynepunkdude Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Can't you go into msconfig and remove it from the start up? Quote

Vista and it's just louping with popups and 'features'. Takes about a day to boot up all its irritating little bells and whistles. Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I'm a mac user, so probably not the right person to help However, I was gonna ask if you've gone onto your browser (ie internet explorer or whatever you use) and go into preferences, and then go into 'block pop ups" I use Safari, and you can do it there. May be worth a try Quote
