I have no idea how to make it stop.... it's almost like the security pack needs rebooting or something - but this has been going on for days. The settings stay the same no matter how many times I reboot the computer.

I have been TOLD that doing this will solve most weirdness issues with SP2 and browsing.

I haven't done it... and didn't read the knowledge base article carefully.. but am relibly assured that doing this will at the least not hurt. (I dont guarantee that though!)

1. Quit all programs that are running.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. Type regsvr32 urlmon.dll, and then click OK.
4. Type regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll, and then click OK.
5. Type regsvr32 Shell32.dll, and then click OK.
6. Type regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll, and then click OK.
7. Type regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll, and then click OK.
8. Type regsvr32 Mshtml.dll, and then click OK.
9. Type regsvr32 browseui.dll, and then click OK.
10. Type regsvr32 Mshtml.dll, and then click OK.
11. restart your computer

Each time you should see the "DllRegisterServer in succeeded." message, click OK.

If the problem still persists check the instructions in this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article for a few more things that can be done.
