Help.....someone sent http://mycpworld.com link in an email to my son, of course he opened it. And yep...its a porn site, but thats not the worst part...it seems that since then, the site has decided to become my "default" page. no matter what I do..I reset it, and it keeps coming back! Also, seems my computer has been running alot slower, freezes at odd times..all kinds of fun stuff...I have all my NAV def up todate, and have run a full virus check, and nothing has come up. I thought that I would just chuck it all, and reformat, I made a Win98SE bootable disk, checked to make sure it worked, and my computer wont go to A: drive first! how am I ever going to do a reformat if I cant use my boot disk? HELP!!!!!!!

Deleting your temp internet files might work, so you don't have to format. If you still want to format, you need to change your boot sequence in BIOS to go to the A: drive first.

how do I change my BIOS? and has anyone heard of the website before????

i encountered the same problem a while back. have a look at http://www.computing.net/windowsme/wwwboard/forum/17913.html

I'd try deleting the files first before formatting... In Internet Explorer, go to TOOLS, and Internet Options. Under the GENERAL TAB, click on the buttons to delete your temp internet files. That hapened to dme before and this worked.

Zippy you're a genius! Your trick worked like a charm. As an FYI to anyone else who might be able to use it the problem file was listed in the Startup list in msconfig as OPQFile. It was a TMP file loaded into C:\Windows\System !!!!!!! Now for my 2nd question....how do I change my BIOS settings so computer looks at A:drive first? Im afraid that if I ever need to use emergency Boot disk, I wont be able to!!!!

You should try a system /restore and go back to a date before the problem started...I think that you can only go back 4 days and restore it to a good working registry.
