Mine did the update n it did the same. I unstaled it and reinstalled to the original version. The modem asked again for the update but i snoozed it for the max 3 days and keep doing it. Dont know why but it seems the update is incompatable with the old modem that run with the orange bars. Tried to mail 3 to get an answer that but still waiting. Was the uninstall don with the modem still in because if not it does not uninstall properly as I found out to my cost. Once done while in it should go back to factory settings.

Re: windows help

Firefox rules.. never use IE
Modems suck, get a router... hopefully from ISP(so you can get support), who you with?

I would just reinstall system... good to do it quite often anyway, especially on older systems that start getting a bit laggy. I googled Compaq 6s27kn9zb002 and all i got back was this thread hehe

why are you getting ask.com ? Have you got any toolbars(ask.com) on your firefox?

Re: windows help

you can have your explorer "hijacked"..your home page may not change but when you search the only response is a set website such as ASK..it's not windows that is mis-directing your searches it's the explorer you are using.
