How come when I download a little short sample 10 sec. movie, it downloads in in wmv? I want it to download in realplayer. I'm sure I need to go into control panel or internet options, connections or programs tab and click this or unclick maybe that. I have no idea what I need to check and uncheck. I'm running I. E. and I hate it. I've got Windows XP. Just last week, I got DSL and it is some better. Can you tell me exactly what I need to do to get rid of I. E. version and go to Mozilla Firefox. I had Mox. F F for two years and no crashes. Since I've gone to I. E. it crashes about 5 times a day!!!!!!! I want the 1.5 version of Moz. F. F. I know how to go into Add/Remove, etc. I just don't know what to check and uncheck and what order to do this. I got DSL the Lite version for only $10. p/mth. for 2 1/2 yrs. Will me changing to Moz. f f mess up my DSL? Also, at times I can here the computer doing something, so when I hit cont., alt., delete, it will have system idle like at 75%. I've got alot of "svchost.exe" Is that bad? Should I get a "computer book for dummies"? Are the answers in that book? I've got kids, so I tried this parental control and it kept locking up on me, and not responding and crashing, so I took it off. How can I keep my kids from getting on the computer when I'm not here at home????? I use to have dial up and I could just put in the password but now since I have dsl all the kids have to do is just move the mouse. Please help get me to Moz. F. F... Thanks

xpsp2 I chose to hide msie7 as an update a long time ago. I was ok wth the m.s. updates this week. I now have the yellow notification icon near the clock. I went to M.S. site which says I have no updates except for hidden ones. I only have msie 7 hidden to my knowledge. Is there someway I can remove this icon or at least view these hidden ones. Thank you
