Whenever I start the Yahoo! browser, Microsoft attempts to ‘configure’ something called "Photo Gallery" and everything grinds to a complete halt!
Each time, I must click on ‘Cancel’ several times as it continually attempts to install/configure this software piece.
I can’t find it anywhere, even in the registry, to get rid of it.
Help!!!!!!!
Sometimes you can figure out what is causing this type problem by doing the following;
While the install message is up do a CNTL+ALT+DEL and select Task Manager. Click on the Application tab and see if there is an identifiable program running that you can then find via Start, Search and get rid of. You can also look under the Processes tab, then click CPU twice to get the programs using the most CPU at the top. The evil program might be one of the top 2 or 3 processes that show.
These are long shot techniques I’ve used in the past. Usually you can’t tell anything but it’s worth a try.
Good luck!

Sounds like you have spyware on your computer. Go to download.com and find some free spyware removal software.
