Well thank you Asus and Oberon games.
All the bloody time I've ****in wasted on my Asus laptop. Putting in all my bookmarks by hand each with passwords. All the software I've downloaded with advice from here that didn't work, weeks of time wasted & tonight I notice that when you uninstall the Oberon games (first thing I did everytime apart from this) it ****s up the registry. I am bloody livid. Even Asus helpline at 8p a minute didn't mention it. ****ing mad as hell at the moment.
