Hope someone can help.I have a big problem in a limited account on my
computer.I cannot sign in to Live Messenger, BT Yahoo browser gives a
script error box which refuses to go away till closed by task manager,
and google images search returns only page numbers, no images. AOK
till 2 or 3 days ago. Then we installed MP11 and rolled back to MP10,
updated java as a Hotspot Virtual Machine message came up and I was
prompted to update, and run a Registry Mechanic clean-up. Something
went wrong obviously, so I restored the Registry clean-up - no
joy.Rolled back to the earlier java version, but still no joy.Have
re-installed Live Messenger (which indicated that it was a java
problem), IE7 and Yahoo Toolbar.Tried java again (have checked that my
internet setting re. scripting, etc as are they should be), installing
it both from my hard disk and from the web ( message re. proxy
settings popped up).Have verified installation on java.com on both my
own and the limited account and, frankly, I am at pulling hair out
stage. All apps work ok on my admin. account. Incidentally, when
typing address into Messenger, it takes about 5 seconds to show up on
limited account. Messenger error = 800401f3. Please, can you help.

You did way too many things all at once without testing after each
change. Make a new limited user account and see if the same problems
occur. If they don't, copy the old user account data and settings to
the new one. If you still have the problems in the new user account,
start by uninstalling everything new and taking the box back to when it
worked. Make only one change at a time and test after each change.
Start by uninstalling the Yahoo Toolbar since it is known to cause
issues.
