Thank you for getting back to me.
I do not use a proxy.
When I use Ccleaner and Quick Clean it does do it without asking what you want cleaned. I wouldn't know anyway what to do. I have used these two programs for quite some time and never had a problem with them. Cleaner says before you even run it that it will permanenetly delete - it doesn't give you a choice. QuickClean really doesn't either.
The only thing that runs in the background is my AVG virus program with firewall.
I went to update Java and it said I had the latest version. I went ahead and downloaded it anyway.
Slimbrowser uses IE doesn't it? It just has a different look and has the automatic tabbing that I like. I was using Firefox also.
On my security tabs, everything was already set to what you suggested. The restricted zone had one that was disabled, so I changed that. I also ran the regsvr thing.
I am wondering if when I cleaned out the registry it deleted things and now that is why it isn't working well. No way to get that back, is there. I already ran the backups on the few backups I had, but it made no difference.
I think I have answered all your questions. Right now I am working in Slimbrowser becaue It seems faster than IE, even though Slimbrowser uses IE. I don't even have firefox loaded anymore. Thank you for your help and I await your reply.
Thanks.
