Nerelda Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 What programs did you use for the cleanup? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyJ Posted November 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Just used the disc cleanup utilitly that comes with xp. had all the boxes checked, I turned the power off last night and for once this morning google came back on, now it wont, google news will, but still no yahoo search, google, gmail,. I use yahoo as my homepage, if that makes any difference, but even if you try from msn, google is gone. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thesidekickcat Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 First let me say welcome to these boards.Second I am sorry that you are having so much trouble, and I hope someone can help you out. Good luck.The only idea I have is to try to go back on a system restore point to where it was all working right for you. Maybe that would bring it all back to what you had before.God bless everyone.

HeavyJ Posted November 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Thanks for the input, tried system restore, didnt make any difference. Had been using Adaware, but downloaded SpybotS&D, got 2 hits off of fastclick, then downloaded CWS and run that, got 2 hits, one of them a bad dll, wish now I had wrote them down. Google is now working, Yahoo still wont, but at least part of the problem is solved. Thanks for having me. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tenmm Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I all so welcome you .I do have a question thou, do not be offended,are you using AOL by chance??I ask this because I have helped two people who had a problems like this, the only way I could fix it was to uninstall Yahoo and then reinstall it.I have yet to figure out what happened but once yahoo was reinstalled everything worked fine(still is)so you might try it.

HeavyJ Posted November 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Thanks for the reply, no, not using aol, just a local isp, hope Im not sounding like a dolt, how do you uninstall Yahoo, just go to search and delete all references to it? Thanks again, Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tenmm Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 You can remove Yahoo from add/remove programs.For XP.Control panel.Select add or remove.In the window select Yahoo and remove it,all of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 hmm, this is a very odd problem, especially since it is happening on two different computers. Have you contacted your ISP about it? Are any other sites that you notice having problems?Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
