help anyone

[lane]

hello, i'm hoping someone here can help me with a computer problem i have.

last night i was flipping from site to site and this message came up:

Runtime Error!
Program:C:\ProgramFiles\Yahoo!\browser\ybrowser.exe
R6025
-pure virtual function call

now, my computer is acting weird, i can still get online, but i have to click the rocket at the toolbar instead of signing in the regular way. i also have to maximize the screen every time i go to a site. if anyone can help, i'd appreciate it, thanks, lane.

i have windows xp, if that helps any.

What browser are you using? Did you install Yahoo search bar and/or other browser addons? If so, try uninstalling those (the yahoo addons, not your browser) and see if it fixes it. If it does, then try reinstalling them. Could just be a bug or bad file from the addons.

I'd run the scanner at housecall.trendmicro.com as well. Scans for spyware/virus and it's absolutely free.

Was thinking the same thing....It sounds like a problem with a Yahoo search/browser bar.

do a restore...

This is precisely the reason why my C: drive is just big enough to hold Windows XP.. (about 3.5GB). Everything I install goes onto the D drive... I back up my C: drive with Ghost every week and if cr@pola like this ever happens I've got an easy out... and my backup partition takes up minimal space. Just a suggestion... but the Restore should work unless you have it turned off.
