Okay, that means I am starting from the same place. Good. Off to explore....
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

What do you see in your C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\plugins folder?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Okay, so I removed some files with Spybot, and started getting the following error message at startup:
Runner Error
Could not load the target dll ("C:\Program Files\BackWeb\BackWeb Client\6.23.66\Porgram\BackWeb.dll", error code 126
I tried restoring the files in question, but I'm still getting the message. It doesn't seem to be doing any harm, but having to click past it every time I turn on the computer is getting old. Any suggestions?

What version of Windows are you running? Are you familiar with msconfig?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Windows XP, and no.
Daniel--yeah, in retrospect I suspect it's the program that was running my HP updates. So I figured putting it back would help, but... apparently something's still missing, and I have no idea where to go looking for it (and little desire to start randomly installing things that might be it). I'm kind of hoping I'm just missing something in Spybot, but it really looks like I've restored everything thta has to do with Backweb.

If it's part of something that's supposed to be there, then I don't know. Sorry.

Ah well, it was worth a shot. Thanks anyway.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Question about Spybot:
I turned on that little thing that causes a little dialogue box to pop up if a page may try to load something on your computer (the kind that generally start installing themselves immediately, asking, "Do you trust this content?" and you're like "HELL NO."). Anyway, I found that gobs of pages (TWoP, IMDb, dictionary.com, etc.) I went to were trying to load this thing called Avenue A, which seemed to be part of the banner ads or something. And frequently, if I blocked the download of it, the page wouldn't load. I'd have to refresh until it found an ad that didn't use Avenue A. Eventually, I got sick of it, so I turned the feature off in Spybot.
Except it didn't turn off. It still gets in the way of the Avenue A download. I have since closed my browser windows and restarted several times (this was months ago), and tried turning it on and off in Spybot again, but it won't go away. What the hell is Avenue A and why is it being such a bitch, and why won't Spybot do what I tell it to?
