Great. Do please mark this thread as SOLVED.

So, is it back to normal or do you have a problem still?

So you can mark this thread as SOLVED!

If it happens with the FireFox browser as well, then it's likely to be a JavaScript error which could be the fault of the other end; you execute their Javascript.

The easiest way of not letting it...

Could you please describe the sequence of what you do and when it happens?

i.e What were you trying to get IE to do.

Also your PC specification.

Too kind.

Anyway, that damn sig website is all in Danish - so of limited use to our forum members!

Maybe rajuguru really meant it. In which case, thanks. LOL.

It looks like Mcafee or something might have detected and removed a trojan, the evidence being:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file)

The trojan may have done...

The key information that's missing is your router.

And did you mean Qwest DSL? Is this a cable based service? If so, does the Vostro work with internet if you plug directly into the Modem...

You don't tell us enough. How are you trying to connect to the internet? These problems are usually router issue or configuration of your network card. So tell us a lot more please.

That would have updated drivers. So we're all pleased that you're fixed up. Do please mark this thread as SOLVEd.

What's this about look-ups?

Anyway, the usual reason, if not what kaninelupus is investigating with you, is the sound driver. It may also be another program trying to use sound at the same time...

I've successfully installed these updates. I doubt that your MBR could be corrupted by a Windows update. I suspect that something else has happened, like a mains glitch furing shit down or...

Did you read & follow up this:

The OP got his answer in 7 Spades doubled and redoubled right at the start of this thread!

We're just having some fun with you!

So there.

He didn't say he had a 32 bit CPU! LOL.

I would confirm this.

Also nice Tweaker @ WinVistaClub

... after all these discoveries, you should by now have reached the conclusion that FireFox can be safely dumped. I really hate FF because of its peculiarities.

Conntrol Panel/Device Manager/Display adapters/ATI Radeon HD3470/Properties/Driver tab --> Roll Back Driver button

I hope.

On the adapter properties page/driver you can roll back. At least it should offer roll back.

Maybe I'm having a bad day and being plain rude, but haven't you got anything more important to worry about?

Did this happen suddenly?

if so, what's changed or been added?

In Safe Mode you should be using the VGA BIOS in the Radeon and you could probably sort it out from there.

On the wireless networks, we don't know your problem so it's difficult to comment. One thing though, if you've had a trojan, then your network could be affected by damage to your...

The RegCure run would have cleared out the missing files/no name items from HJT. (Worth checking though).

The RegCure "errors" are just a reflection of the amount of coming and goings into/from...

Looks clean to me. A RegCure type registry cleanup and system restore point wouldn't hurt.

Well done.

Because the entry is in the RUNONCE section of the regustry, it will run on reboot. If you have restored your system to factory, then this is likely to be a kosher RUNONCE from HP (a reminder I...

The Beta will autodestruct on a certain date. i.e. stop working. On present M$ plans, you have to set everything up again.

I wouldn't bother with the beta for that reason.

Great. Do please mark this thread as SOLVED and good luck.

OK - wish I'd known all that some time ago. There is a known incompatibility between Aero and Nero 7.7x. Vista is behaving correctly by turning off Aero when an incompatible program runs and...

Screenshots are good/best. It's what I wanted except I also would like to see the keys/values in the Themes key itself.

From what you've shown me in the registry it's running Aero now and the...

From this distance, I buy the dry joint or similar theory - the connexion expanding on heat up.

What's in your registry under
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Themes

I'd like to know what the entries are in the Themes pane and in the DefaultVissualStyleon/off keys.

What I was looking for is there - Aero scrapes through on 3.5 (3.0 is the threshold for Aero).

Your display adapter needs to be set for 32 bit colour. Is it? Use Personalization > Display Settings

Is there any kind of Nero stub in your process tray? If so, try and disable it and see if Aero returns.

There is a Vista Performance Index threshold that you could trigger from the Control...

Perhaps you could take a look in Control Panel/Device Manager/Display adapters.

Let us know the devices listed in there. I've seen cases where a so called "Mirror Adapter" appears in the list.

Phew - and you were never going to give up!

It's always a blow when one concludes a hardware fault. We've only your description to go on.

I've had too many company PCs made by HP to ever want one for myself. You forgot to add holding down...

An interesting homily.

We didn't bottom out the hibernate problem. It's tempting to blame Microsoft but, you know, there's so much between cup and lip. Disk glitches right at the wrong moment;...
