I agree with you... registry got really messed up! The Gmail thing with the activeX started some time ago, so I am not keen on a restore if I can avoid it. I don´t normally go to the Gmail website, only to clear one of the accounts that is not POP3. But after a while that activeX thing bugged me... I cleaned the registry which I hope cleared a lot of things up but am wondering if I should uninstall, download another activeX, or repair it? The other problems I have with missing dlls I have found and dloaded all, just have to register them. Thanks for the input... if you think of something else, let me know!
