Okay, i just formatted my comp and im already about to throw it out the window 1. Whenever i try to install wordperfect i get a windows install shield error. 2.I cant stall my AV, maybe this has something to do with the windows install shield? 3.My homepage has been hijacked the second i went online to [rev0lt.net](http://rev0lt.net) and usually when i try to go somewhere in IE it goes wacko and says not found and links dont work but then they decide to work etc. i thought formatting would make things better ☹ oh well, at least now i dont have a hacker in my computer changing my background to some ugly chick with a gun. meeps. any clues? if not ill annoy a dell tech support dude again tomorrow :love: ---

I don’t believe it. You had to installed some kind of crap already. Only use IE for Windows Update, otherwise, on your first boot that you establish internet connection, go directly to [www.mozilla.org](http://www.mozilla.org) for FF. ---

Yeah, reformat without the internet plugged in, make sure you actually do a Full Format, like, delete the partition, then create new partition. ---

happens to me. twice before, I’ve had to format my computer twice in a row. i’d get error after error, during startup to executing simple programs like MSNM, to shutting down the computer (some programs won’t respond). probably a bad windows install? :-/ ---
