need error fixing/maintenence mode on XP, help !

[J F]

Hi all,
Ive been having sporadic problems whereby my so jumps back to my
homepage when I try to go to a URL. I checked for spyware AND viruses
with AdAware and Spybot , and NortonAV 04 for xp.

Someone knowledgeable suggested i use the xp disc and try to get it to go in
and find and
correct the OS problem using a maintenence/diagnostic mode.

Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks much for your help and i'd appreciate it if you could email me any
response
you may have.

Thanks
Joe

May I suggest one of the Windows XP newsgroups. This one is for the Access Database
program.
