I don't know how this happened, but my development workstation suddenly
stopped showing error messages in IE and instead shows a web portal of some
kind that has "Problems finding what you're looking for?" accross the top
and a bunch of links to search.windowenhancer.com. I must have downloaded
something and inadvertantly got this on my machine. Anyone know how I can
get this off so I can read my development error messages again?

Nevermind... I just went through all my programs and uninstalled anything
showing "Lycos" or "search tool"... that seems to have stopped the problem.

I already have that installed... this is something different (I am STILL
having the problem).

It is the weirdest thing... my address line shows the proper URL of the page
in my application (http://localhost/project1/webform.aspx), but the page is
showing a bunch of advertising. This stinks!!! I miss the error messages
that I could use to troubleshoot. HELP!!!

Hi Schoo,

I think you're getting advertising messages because you have installed some
other applications. This issue might also caused by viruses. Are you still
getting this kind of problem now?

Yes I am still getting the problem. I have installed Ad-aware 6.0 and
Spybot 1.3 but they seem to have no effect. I am on my business's LAN and
they have McAfee running on my desktop plus some sort of McAfee appliance in
the server room in addition to the firewall stuff. I agree that either some
program is running in place of the normal error screen or, the screen has
been replaced. How can I get it back?
 
I just solved it! I went into options and unchecked the "use friendly error
message". I did not change this, but somehow it got checked.

Thanks,

Scott
