Hi Rick and others, Coming in a bit late on this thread but...
How about resetting IE8, which will take it almost back to the way it was when your computer was new. I'm saying "Almost" because you can configure the reset not to delete favorites and such (details are on reset page). A reset of IE is useful for exactly these types of situations. 1. Launch IE then go to tools > Options > control shift tab to Advanced tab > tab to reset... and press enter. 2. Read the page thoroughly to get an understanding of what is going to happen; especially regarding deleting personal settings. I do not think this deletes cookies. 3. When you're confident you really want to do this tab to the Reset button and press enter. 4. Wait a few minutes for the reset to complete. 5. When the process has completed, launch IE once again, and you should be presented with the same installation questions as when you first installed INTERNET EXPLORER 8.

If you click okay do you get any settings? If so set them to how you want them and that should take care of that. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B.

Internet Explorer - Search Provider Default A program on your computer has corrupted your default search provider setting for Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer has reset this setting to your original search provider, Live Search (search.live.com). Internet Explorer will now open Search Settings, where you can change this setting or install more search providers. OK A security scan has been run, & found nothing. Also, there are no unfamiliar programs installed on this computer. Any ideas on how to fix this, pain in the ass, whoops, I mean but! All help will be graciously accepted! Thanks much, take care.
