Gryph Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 What browser are you using? As a temporary fix, you should get Firefox (I doubt this problem is happening with it). Do a virus scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a virus scan.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> he is using ie on xp home edition sp2 ran virus scan with AVG nothing came up. I will try to recommend fire fox as temp solution but i feel reformat is inevitable.
