I know it sounds weird, but here is my story. Well, I have Windows XP Service Pack 1, and I have a Toshiba Laptop.
My weird story:
Well, it all began with the res:// problem. I did everything, but I foundout how to fix it. I just had to UPDATE Ad-Aware and Spybot, so after that they removed all the malware and other stuff messing up my IE, but I also ran about buster right after that to make sure that nothing is left. Aftwer that I ran them all in safe mode twice, spybot first, ad-aware second, and about buster third. Now I thought my IE was finally fixed, but I was wrong.
The current problem:
My IE homepage is not changing anymore, and no more res:// being detected by hi-jack this. But I have one problem, after I type in the webpage without the www.(EX: yahoo.com <<no www. included), it takes me to the res:// homepage but it says the page cannot be displayed like other web pages which do not work, but on the top it says res://xbomi.dll/url_error.html. I seriously need help, it is like the res:// is not there, but part of it stayed, but I can't find it and remove it. I always have to type in the www., or else it takes to that webpage, but the webpage does not exist, because the res:// has been removed. Do you get what I mean about the SIDE EFFECT remains. Please help.
