I know that must sound like a stupid question but I've only ever changed the options from internet explorer and now I'm running mozilla firefox and the options are all different.

Firefox 1.x

Select the Tools > Options menu item, then set the options:

1. Under the Privacy > Cookies item, select "Allow sites to set cookies" and optionally select "for the originating web site only".
2. Under the Web Features item, disable "Block Popup Windows" and select "Enable JavaScript". Next, click on Advanced and verify that that the following advanced JavaScript options are selected: "Move or resize existing windows", "Raise or lower windows", and "Change images".
3. Click OK.

dont forget to reset them after the testing

Can't do that online scan, coz you said to take off explorer coz other people had problems with that version? So I put it back on to try that online scan and it keeps freezing *sigh*. Firefox is all I can keep running.
Is there another one you have that I can try?

no ...but lets try this...get regseeker and have it clean the registry...

http://www.majorgeek...wnload2579.html

click on clean the registry after you get it installed...let it run..when its done the options at the bottom of the page will be clickable (they turn darker) when you click on ...select all...everything will be highlighted..hit the delte key on your keyboard...they will be deleted...dont worry it makes a backup of everything it does so its easy to put back the way it was...I don't want to hex us so I'm not going to say I've never had to do that... :whistling:

I think I found the solution to your problem.... :whistling: try this..


Go into the 'Power Options' applet by clicking Start/Control Panel/Power Options.
In the 'Power Schemes' pulldown, select 'Always On...OK your way out
Click OK.
reboot the system.

*sigh*..did that. Still going crazy, little fan on the lap top is still working it's heart out....CPU still through the roof.
Do you know what to do with that filemon log I posted in an earlier reply to one of the other guys? He said that there's something there but hasn't had a chance to look at it properly (a couple of days ago)....probably coz it's massive!

did you try regseeker and the power options trick.....how many things did regseeker find..about the log...I got a headache after 10 minutes with that log and I hadn't got 5 % done...he's probably down at some bar trying to clear his mind. :whistling:
I'll have to ponder your problem a little while...I'm fresh out of idea's right now

Did the power options thing. Haven't done anything with regseeker? Is that another download? Pass the link over and wil give it a bash. [bleep], willing to try just about aything at the mo!
And I wouldn't blame him for being at the bar, my brain just about cramped when I looked at that log. I wouldn't even have the first clue what to do with it!
