Short and Sweet .nothing in it bad ,Also you should put hujack in its own folder and not a temp one ,for backup purpous .
one thing that is suggested to fix because it is a rescorce hog is this .

O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\OSA9.EXE


This is just something off the top of my head,have you tried disabling pop up manager ,some times popup blockers can cause problems .

Thanks for your help. I've had pop up manager and pop up stopper on here for years, can they all of a sudden cause a problem? Running one of them at a time doesnt do enough to keep popups at bay, it took both of them to really stem the tide, tho I will certainly give it a shot.

I will get office out of the start up, I didnt realize it was there.

Thanks,

I dought it ,was just a thought ,I use the google search toolbar and popup stopper ,it works great blocks all but those floating type addscan they all of a sudden cause a problem? ,and there are few and far between.If installed uncheck when installing about communicateing with the mothership. LOL

I've tried all the obvious things like shutting off the pop up stoppers, disabling Zone Alarm, fiddling with the Security stuff in Tools > Options...and downloaded the newest Java virtual machine stuff. I've cleaned out temp internet files, dumped cache, everything I thought of and others have suggested and yet the icons still dont show their face! I dont get it!

It's the same version of IE6 as I had before, it's the same copy of XP Pro, all I ever did in the past was go with the default settings for everything, so it's not like I started off by messing around, I believe if it ain't broke dont fix it! It's only in the last few days I've made any changes in hopes of figuring this out.

It all makes no sense. I was over to expedia.ca today (which I use as my test site for the icons) and still I have the red X in the box!

I sure appreciate they help and suggestions and if anyone has anymore, please send them along!
Thanks
