hello and welcome to geekstogo,
Firstly you should just stay with fiirefox as it is a more reliable browser, fast and safer.
However if you want to use IE more then Firefox try this link http://www.geekstogo...er-60-t251.html
And one last thing do you suspect malware (virus', spyware, adware) if so go to the malware forum and they'll fix ya up.
thanx

Tried that link. First method didn't work, and the second method requires the XP CD, which unfortunately I don't have.
I have been posting on the Malware board for the past 3 days or so, resolving some other problems I'd been having. Unfortunately none of it fixed my problems with IE.
I also have a problem with AIM using 100% of my CPU. This problem started the same time as my problems with IE (which is also guilty of hogging all of my CPU).

reinstall it i would say after you get fixed up with malware. I think this is the main problem here. Once you are done getting fixed up then report back to here.

The guy I've been talking to in Malware advised me to come here, because he's done all he can.

i'm out of options but i will continue to look around and see if i can find something. Can you still only access the homepage? Also if AIM is still taking up 100% of your computers usage try out trillian, you can get the download at http://www.download....0-10047473.html and maybe this will help your comptuer out. If you're for sure that its AIM reducing your computers preformance.

How can AIM and IE be using 100% of the cpu? At the same time? First, remove AIM from your start up. You can turn the program on manually. Here is a great utility for controlling what begins at boot:

Now, change your homepage temporarily and see if there is a difference.
BTW, Firefox is not the best solution for IE problems. IE is very important to most of Windows, so if there is a problem with it, it's best to fix it instead of using a work-around. Firefox is also not as capable as IE in some situations, or even usable, like getting MS updates, so it needs fixed.
