Need to get rid of these program called "DASH BAR", it constantly popping up in the middle of the screen everytime i open up IE 5.01 SP 1. I cant do anything else until i close this " DASH BAR". I try to use /CONTrOL PANEL/ ADD/ Remove programs and uninstalled it , (DASH BAR is not showing up in listed programs ) but there's no luck , still poppin up constantly . I try to look up registry and cant find the exact path where to remove it from.

All help and advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks .

What do you have set as your homepage in I.E 5? There maybe a link within it pulling the unwanted progrmme.

It sounds as if it might have embedded itself into IE5. Spend 10 minutes or so deleteing and reloading IE5 is a crude but effective way of killing it off. Maybe quicker than time spent hunting for it !

IE5 will be on your Windows disc or ISP disc to reload.

It may be a 16 bit program. If it is, it probably made an entry in the win.ini file. Go to RUN and type SYSEDIT and then look at the WIN.INI file for an entry saying DASH BAR and remove it. I have gotten rid of stubborn program behavior this way. Windoze processes win.ini without making any notification to you or the registry.
