I guess I've just covered everything, plus I created a new user profile on
her computer and it still won't access some sites from the new profile.
I shredded the TIF, ran LSP-Fix and both Winsockfix programs and did the
flushdns.
What has me stumped is that:
1. it doesn't appear to be a winsock problem because I ran those fixes and
she can connect to some sites.
2. it doesn't appear to be an IE browser problem because I installed FireFox
and the problem persisted.
3. it doesn't appear to be a user profile problem because I created a new
user profile and the problem persisted.
4. it doesn't appear to be a firewall problem because I tried disabling MS
xp Pro firewall and the problem persisted.
5. it doesn't appear to be a security settings problem because I set them as
low as possible and the problem persisted.
6. why do searches from the address bar always use Yahoo Search even when a
different search engine is selected?
The next thing I'll try is uninstalling AVG, Adaware and Spybot. (quitting
AVG didn't help). If that doesn't help, maybe I'll pop in the XP install
disc and see if it can repair it.
I've had some tough problems on her computer in the past - real tough- but
always found a way to fix it. This one may have me beat.
