mine asked me to update last week and brought up a totally different 'connect' box after i'd updated it, J thought thats why mine was naffing up(because of the update) and he uninstalled it for me and then re-did it...and its still naffed

Mine did the update n it did the same. I unstaled it and reinstalled to the original version. The modem asked again for the update but i snoozed it for the max 3 days and keep doing it. Dont know why but it seems the update is incompatable with the old modem that run with the orange bars. Tried to mail 3 to get an answer that but still waiting. Was the uninstall don with the modem still in because if not it does not uninstall properly as I found out to my cost. Once done while in it should go back to factory settings.

Firefox rules.. never use IE
Modems suck, get a router... hopefully from ISP(so you can get support), who you with?

I would just reinstall system... good to do it quite often anyway, especially on older systems that start getting a bit laggy. I googled Compaq 6s27kn9zb002 and all i got back was this thread hehe

why are you getting ask.com ? Have you got any toolbars(ask.com) on your firefox?

[flashy]

if i knew why i was getting ask .com i'd get rid of it wouldnt i, i havent even got ask .com installed on my pc, been to add/remove several times looking for it and its not there

[Mick]

Flashy ask.com is a website you dont install it
its another search engine type of site

[flashy]

you can install it as a task bar though Mick, like google

[Mick]

yes i do know that but you already said you have not done that so what are your home pages set at and do you have more than one home page set check you have not set tab browsing to ask .com as your second tab

you can have your explorer "hijacked"..your home page may not change but when you search the only response is a set website such as ASK..it's not windows that is mis-directing your searches it's the explorer you are using.
