Then reinstall them of course.

1161710 2011-02-08 21:52:00 I thought this too when I read it, but I think his problem is that it's automatically starting his browser and opening the SLIzone page, rather than opening it as his homepage.

Then again, you never know hah.

1161712 2011-02-08 22:06:00 Quite possible one of the nvidia things you installed added a startup of a program which loads slizone website.

Normally it would delete itself or something after the first run, but I guess for some reason it didn't.

I think you need to find whatever this program is and disable that.

1161715 2011-02-10 22:32:00 Thank you folks. I am unsure re uninstalling graphics drivers so have not done that

MY home page is set to be a blank as I cant be bothered waiting for stuff I don't need

There is nothing at all in my startup list that would appear connected to this.

linzi = girl

No proxy is already selected.

I have made EVERY effort to "find this programme" believe me.

What has Vundo got to do with this problem? I have had it a long while ago and removed it.

Ok so its not killing my computer, but it sure as heck is every annoying

Did you have a look with Autoruns as I suggested before?
