In Gmail emails will not open

the scan in safe mode found this:

Warning, Virus name= Found Adware.CoolWebSearch.

Path to file: HKLM\Software\Classes\Softomate.IEToolbar

But "HKLM\Software\Classes\Softomate.IEToolbar" I could not find in the registry.

What is HKLM.

Resident Shield off did nothing to help.

 

Found it, exported it & deleted it, BUT still same problem.

 

Just to check - have you run MBAM in safe mode, or only AVG?

 

Yes MBAM & AVG scan in safe mode with no results BUT:-

I did an XP Repair & it seems to have cleared it, opens emails & all functions work.

The lL/Hand line menu though changed a bit its appearance but all work.

Thanks for your patience, if I had any sence I would have done initially but, R is a bit drastick key to click.

 

SOLVED.......SOLVED

Same problem reappeard after installing IE 8.06. following the XP Repair.

By chance I just noticed that when I open Gmail in IE this lock in shot below appeard.

I clicked by flook the Compatibility green wavy thing next to it & lo & behold Gmail works fine.

Well I never.

 

Glad you've got it sorted

 

Re: & now latest AOL will not install!!

If you would like another mistery check this unsolved except that I could install Aol9 from my old CD.

Even now after the XP repair latest AOL from the net will not install.

So, we meet again Mr Nichos...

I read that thread you linked: Don't you just hate it when people say 'Just don't use that software' when you have a problem!

I think AOL is a waste of time too, but if you want to use it for the reasons you gave then that's fine with me!

Anyway, some possible leads here and a big list of search results for that error you're getting here - many of which do seem directly related to the AOL software, despite what AOL told you!

 

Thanx again,

the first is irrelevant here & will try to fathom the second & come back tomorrow.

 

Thanx for this AOL bit,

the second link among a lot of things made me try & delete the "Data Execution Prevention" & the AOL 9.5 prog installed from the net & working OK.

Trust the old AOL though !, the only thing I need "itemised telphone bills" are not showing & they are trying to fix the problem.

I went back though & Turned on thid DEP thing.

PS. EDIT I am sending this from within AOL which I never use usually.
