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.

i keep doing the 'snooze' thing too spug, cant remember but i think he took it out when he uninstalled it...if you hear anything from 3, let me know...thanx for all that :)
 
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?
 
if i knew why i was getting ask .com i'd get rid of it wouldnt i, i havent even got ask .com installed on my pc, been to add/remove several times looking for it and its not there
 
Flashy ask.com is a website you dont install it
its another search engine type of site
 
yes i do know that but you already said you have not done that so what are your home pages set at and do you have more than one home page set check you have not set tab browsing to ask .com as your second tab

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.
 
go into control panel.. internet options/security/restricted sites/sites/ and type in ask .com/..then do the same for any site you are re-directed to....it's hassle but worth a try.
 
just done that, cheers Mancie, i'll see if it has worked or not if it naffs up again, your a good un :)
 
ask.com isnt a malicious site though... i dont get why that is happening... mancies right, perhaps a hijack or a virus causing it
 
just closed this page then tried bringing firefox back up and guess where it went....ask.com, checked to see if it was on the list on the restricted sites and it hasnt even registered :(
 
thats the other thing Mancie, i dont have IE anymore, i deleted it a while back

the ask .com thing doesnt happen all the time, it just seems to do it more in the evening
 
could it just be that you have Firefox home page set up for ask.com

Tools/options/Main

in the home page change the info to what site you want as homepage...
i use Google

It sounds like a real mash up Flashy..have you tried going back and using IE? the internet options might only work for windows IE.. there is an app called hijackthis that can sort out this sort of aggro but it needs to be downloaded.. anyway it's here
