I just got a new computer a few days ago...
For some reason, everytime I go on the internet and type in a website name (like Machinima.com, or Bungie.net) it opens another blank window and doesn't load the website on either windows. The first window remains on google while the second does nothing... though when I click a link in the search engine... it works perfectly...
It is running Windows XP Pro Serive pack 3.
(note... I used google to get here... -.-)
Edit: I also have a modemn, yet it keeps saying it wants to connect to wireless...
I tried changing the connection settings but it would only let me choose Wireless style connections.

Check your internet options (Tools - Internet Options - Privacy) and make sure the bar is not set to ''Accept All Cookies", set it to medium if it is. Under internet options again click on the last tab which is ''Advanced''. Under browsing, make sure the check box ''Enable third party browser extensions'' is turned off. It does more damn harm then good.

Delete all your temporary files and cookies (and porn history lol). Click start - run - and type ''msconfig''. The last tab is ''Start Up'', just uncheck everything as whatever is here is not necessary for windows to funcion. Your just disabling third party programs from start up, make sure you check the root folder to see what your disabling (you might want to keep your firewall, virus scan, etc).

If your still having issues then try this malware software, I think it's pretty damn good and it's gotten rid of things I personally could not get rid of.

(it's a pretty bad host, just wait until the link appears at the bottom).

Found it out... when I installed Windows XP I screwed up on the order (which caused the error -.-... I should just leave stuff like that to the professionals...)
