Dear Exile,
As you will see here, I have been a good student tonight. I've done more homework that you assigned.

It's likely that something was goofy and the setting in the registry wasn't set that way, even though it was set that way in
Internet Options, but when you accessed
Internet Options it refreshed the settings and applied them, thus enabling images in web pages again
.

3) I have a problem running anti-virus software because it causes my computer to freeze up when I'm on the Internet. I think it's because I need more RAM, but don't have the bucks to buy more right now. I am using Avira now. Any s/w you recommend that might run better?
How much Ram do you have? Also, what type of internet connection do you use (high-speed or dial-up)?
[DSLQUOTE
4) ABC Player at abc.com. Cannot get it to work. There are a number of TV shows there I'd like to watch. Any ideas?
Most likely an issue either with your internet settings, which we'll reset in a bit or a plugin/codec problem.
[I hope you're right because I'm not the only one who has this problem. There are a whole bunch of people who can't get the player to work. grrrQUOTE
I see quite a few things in Autoruns and we'll get to that in a bit, but first, please download and run the Microsoft
Fix it tool
here to see if it corrects the CD burner problem. Let me know if it worked or not.

Please download VEW

The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use. This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.

LAST ITEM TONIGHTI noticed I still have a lot of attachments. Can you look at my page & tell me which ones to "manage?"[/b][/font][/size][/color]
. I'll need you to run it one more time, but this time a bit differently than before then I should be able to find the offending driver and remove it as well as figure out what you need to install to get CD burning working again:
But I will do it all as quickly as I can, which may be in spurts because I have something I'm studying for right now. And my 1 y.o. doggie is sick, and I'm his nurse.
