Boner Kawanger 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 I've tried to post this once, and, ironically enough, my computer messed up. Let's get started. 1) I Can't Change My Start Page From what we can figure out over here, I've either accidently clicked the wrong link or got a virus (which McAfee can't find, so scratch that). Whatever it is, it has changed my starting page/home page/whatever you want to call it to file://c:/spad/start.html, which takes me to a page full of porn links. It was something else last week, some kind of idiot search engine. I've gone to the Control Panel and changed it numerous times, but it always reverts back. And yes, I click Apply. Anybody know how to fix this one? 2) Windows Media Player is Down Anytime I put in a CD or click an MP3 or try to open Media Player, I get the familiar beep sound that tells you you can't do something. I thought it was my computer and tried to delete WMP (which for some reason is the hardest thing I've ever had to do on a computer). I was at a friend's house and he was having the exact same problem. Anyone know if this is some universal Media Player problem or what? 3) My Copier/Scanner Won't Scan or Copy I don't figure on anyone helping with this one, but it's worth a shot. My Lenmark X75 Printer/Scanner/Copier won't scan or copy. It shows no signs of trouble and hasn't been tampered with. I figure I'll have to show it to someone who can actually touch it, but I'm holding out on someone here knowing a trick to it. That's about it. My computer sucks, I'll admit it. Thanks in advance.

Eclipse 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 I have had those problems before. The reason you can't change the start page is because there us a registry entry doing it. You need HijackTHIS to delete it. Window Media not starting could be malware. I had spyware taking over the program, and everytime I tried using it, it wouldn't start, and it would link to some other site.
