Hi Roger, If this still happens after a reboot, then I'd be inclined to suspect that you may have some spyware on your system.

I've tracked down the solution on Google and need to make adjusts to my registry through regedit but when I go to Start/Run/regedit it tells me that it is in use by another application. I tried to go into task manager by right clicking the system task bar and entering on Task Manager only for nothing to come up when I pressed enter. I'm using Win XP Home. Anyone any ideas please.
