    Hi,

    What antivirus/antispyware/security product do you have on machine? Include any you have EVER has on this

    machines including those you uninstalled (they leave remnants behind which can cause strange issues).

    If no joy something maybe blocking it.

    Start - All Programs - Accessores - System Tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced Tab - click Restore then click Reset - Apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security Tab -  click reset all zones to default - Apply / OK

    Close and restart IE and/or IE with no addons

    any better?

    IE - Tools - Manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, this is no longer needed but Java still installs it

    and it causes issues - you ever update Java go back in and disable it again.) Look for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - Tools - Software Explorer - look for issues with programs that do not look right. Permitted

    are usually OK and "not permitted" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program ask about it here.

    Could be a BHO - BHOremover - Free - standalone program, needs no install, download and run - not all

    are bad however some can cause your issue (Toolbars are BHO's).

    Startup Programs

    http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/79612-startup-programs-enable-disable.html

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only.

    http://www.malwarebytes.org/


    After the above if you need to reset Search Provider

    IE - set Search provider as you wish.

    Tools - Manage Add-ons - Search Providers - Select the Search Provider you want by clicking on one

    you can Move it UP or DOWN the list - Set the one you want as the Default (Usually the 1st choice)

    and you can REMOVE any you do not want on list. Then on LOWER LEFT check -> Prevent programs

    from suggesting changes to my default search provider.

    Add Search Providers to Internet Explorer

    Change Default Search Provider

    More than you need but a tip on where it is in registry

    http://blog.stevienova.com/2006/11/07/ie7-adding-default-search-provider-through-the-windows-registry/

    You could also do this from another computer to correct your list.

    Hope this helps.
