    - Corrupt SHDOCVW.DLL file? Been having problems with IE crashing, with the dreaded exception code oxc0000005. I've seen a few references to the possible culprit being a corrupt SHDOCVW.DLL file. IE version is 6.0.2800.1106. Microsoft database indicates SHDOCVW.DLL file date 8/29/02, file size 1,338,368. I have 3 SHDOCVW.DLL files on the system. One is in \windows\ServicePackFiles\386, dated 8/29/02, file size 1,341,440. The two others are both dated 1/21/04, both file size 1,339,904, located in \windows\system32 and \windows\system32\dllcache. Looks like maybe two of these should be deleted, and the other one might be corrupt? If so, which one should be left in, and how do I replace it with the correct version? Thanks!

    - Internet Explorer slowdown / no response Would you suggest a low level format? I have a SCSI drive. Read on...... I also noticed when IE starts to slow down I checked task manager and noticed scvhost.exe is using up 99% of the resources. Blaster worm in my boot sector? Now for the gorie details. I have been troubleshooting a problem with Internet Explorer slowdown and then no response. I can browse for a minute and then crawls and I get the blank page "error page…server not found or something like that) I have a Dial-up Earthlink account. I originally had win 2k but elected to go with XP Pro after being affected with the Blaster worm. I reformatted the drive and installed XP (Twice) but still have the same problem. I decided to go back to original Win 2k and installed that along with Norton 2004 and the Earthlink disk but still the same problem. I go the cmd mode and ping yahoo.com and it fails. I am still connected at this time. Before going on the internet each time I loaded all the critical MS security patches and install Norton 2004. I used a Earthlink disk from Office Max (free). Could that be a problem? Maybe Spyware? Scanning for viruses (Sasser, Blaster ) comes up clean. Since this is a new install each time, I haven't run Adware or Spyware. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. Tag: Address Bar Tag: 269650

    - about:blank Yesterday, I installed adaware and spybot on my computer, but the pages on IE6 still will not display. Also, I can not change my home page; it's grayed out. Adware and Spyware got rid of everything except for Cool Web Search (CWS), which keeps coming back onto my computer, everytime I exit out of IE, and go back in, it has reinstalled itself. How do I get rid of it permanently? The only web page that shows up is the stupid CWS page, with every other website I put in I will get a "Page cannot be displayed error" or CWS will change the address I put in the computer: http://www.msn.com <---> http:///%20www.msn.com How do I stop this from happening. I cannot even use my home computer to get info on how to stop this hijacking. I have to use a computer outside my home to get information on how to get rid of it. Will somebody please, Please, PLEASE help me?!!!?!!!?!!! Tag: Address Bar Tag: 269645

    - temporary internet files folder I was asked this by a friend and was embarrassed to say I had no answer. If you clear out the internet cache completely, all cookies and files. then use windows explorer to navigate to the folder containing the cache it looks empty, go up a folder level and look at the folder properties it says it contains several folders and files. If I search the folder for '*.*' I find them but if I just double click it I see nothing they don't seem to be hidden or system files. What are these files? why can't I see them normally ? and is it safe to delete them ? Tag: Address Bar Tag: 269572

    - IE 6 toolbars This is strange and I can't find a fix... I have a fully updated and relatively simple IE 6 setup. I have the Google Bar installed and an Adobe bar that got installed while I wasn't paying attention. If I uncheck just the Google Bar (but keep the Adobe bar checked) under the "View" menu, the Adobe bar disappears but Google stays. If I uncheck just the Adobe Bar, then the Google Bar disappears but the Adobe Bar is still there. If I uncheck the Google Bar and the Adobe Bar then both disappear. I don't understand it...any ideas?

I formatted the hard drive and reinastalled all mt software. This worked for a short while. I have all the windows updates but it has again stopped accessing Microsoft.com. I have tried disabling my firewall to no avail. I even installed another browser and this was able access Microsoft.com. Its not our ISP's fault as we have other computers on our connection that can happily connect. My antivirus finds no fault nor does spybot. When I type www.microsoft.com in the url, after a few minutes I get a Google search page which says "Sorry, no information available for the URL www.microsoft.com" Please help, my hair is even more Grey that usual.

At the same time, the hard drive generates some kind of grinding noise (not very loud though). The network connection shouldn't be a problem because any other network based applications runs fine. I tried to defragment the hard drive, used CHKDSK to look for disk error and even reinstalled IE6 plus the service pack or patches (By the way, is there a way to remove IE6 from Windows 2000?).
