| 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 |
