NOTE: I was FINALLY able to merge the "URLRepair" thing successfully. Sorry about that. Would someone mind, however, peeking at the HJT? Thank you so very much.

Well, I'm sorry to ask for help again -- I followed all previous instructions (or so I thought) while trying to repair the R3 entry in my log, but I'm given an error message when I try to merge the information into the registry. The error message says: "Cannot import [...]. The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor."

I'm at a loss. Also, I ran another HJT log, and am hoping someone can take a look at it for me (I just read the "helping yourself" post, which is really good. I'm going to read it again...looks like I need it).

Thanks in advance, on both counts here!
