It's getting to the point where I hate my new computer! Every time I open an
internet page, a box appears and says "Do you want to run this software? Click Run or Cancel". Note, I'm just a teenager without any experiance of computers. -_-" Can somebody help me get rid of this annoying pop up box? I mean, it preposterious knowing that by opening a single page wether it be yahoo or msn that box will appear! It's unnerving to say the least. If you could help me I would really appreciate it. : ) |

Hi,
That's a sign of a plugin/addon that is trying to run with elevated privileges. Usually this occurs because it is not compliant with newer standards. Go to tools/options/programs tab and click the button to manage addons. Set the show dropdown to see those that are currently loaded. Click on each one listed in turn and disable those loading with internet explorer that are non-essential (actually, none of them are essential). Then close IE and restart it. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Red101" wrote in message ...
