nibs

tried it and its saying registry import info not found, will try the other one thats been posted

Is it in your installed list?
DNA\btdna.exe

Can you uninstall it?

What bittorrent program is installed?

My thoughts are try to uninstall the lot. if that doesnt work then install the bitorrent program again (Whatever its called), then uninstall again

rik i tried to connect laptop direct to internet with cables and it still wont work - so thats why i think i've done something to upset the settings. wireless says its connected but doesnt work but it says access is local and im thinking that its not finding the proper ip addy

found out bittorrent is a music/movie site which i've now removed and given dd 60 lashings for installing it in the first place (Jokes)

dont know what you mean when you say is it in installed list - how can i tell?
