Hello all. When I start Reliability Monitor I get a dialog box that reads: Windows Internet Explorer Internet Explorer cannot download . The system cannot find the file specified. and the lower pane of the Reliability Monitor reads:

New BETA nVidia GeForce Drivers (ver. 175.12 28 April 2008): http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!

I lost my Network nd Volume icons from the Notification area. I went the right click on taskbar routine, and found out the boxes were unchecked and greyed out. I got them back via system restore. What I'd like to know is what caused that? The only significant activity was installing the new version of CCleaner, and then I ran it. That's it, no other programs installed. -- t-4-2
