The recovery process should take 15 to 30 minutes maximum depending on your system. Just go where the picture says and pick your restore point. Don't click several times - have patience and wait for the Recovery Wizard.</p> <p><img src='http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii36/whs37/HTG8/br.png' /> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/redirected-during-startup#post-35857 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 14:54:54 +0000 twiggy1 35857@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>with system restore, do i have to unplug everything and go through long process as with system recovery?</p> <p>thnx </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/redirected-during-startup#post-35849 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 14:08:06 +0000 ScottW 35849@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I would say before a recovery you could try:</p> <p>1) Reset all IE settings in Internet Options -&gt; Advanced -&gt; under "Reset internet explorer settings" click the Reset button.

But try something else. Go to Tools &gt; Manage add-ons &gt; Enable or Disable Add-ons &gt; and there disable anything that only remotely looks like MSN. Then restart IE and tell us what happens. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/redirected-during-startup#post-35610 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:11:44 +0000 Lighthouse 35610@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>twiggy.
