Howdy

i just resently quit the porn addiction  ;D and i didnt really trust myself  :( so i went to the content protection in the Internet options so i can block the "bad sites" from myself i put the sliders where i wanted them and then i created the password but i typed in random letters and enabled it. but wut i didnt realize till i got on this computer is that i needed to click the box that says "Users can see sites w/o a rating" so now everytime i try to go on ANY website a box pops up saying i need to type in that password  :-X and so now i cant view the web at all so my question is.... Is there a way to bypass the password or at least get onto the content options so i can click that box?

thank you for the help!!!

4. Internet Options      
5. Security tab      
6. Reset all 4 security zones to Default      
  
1. Start      
2. Settings      
3. Control Panel      
4. Internet Options    
5. Privacy    
6. Restore 1 Default button    
  
1. Start      
2. Settings      
3. Control Panel

You may need to do the following as well

5. General tab

    It might be a good idea to format the drive and reinstall Windows to solve this problem and others as well.  :o

      I agree with GX1-Man.  If you can't solve the problem any other way, save, wipe and reinstall.  It's a drag but sometimes there's just no getting around it.  :-[

        "nvatabus.sys" is related to NVIDIA video drivers.  When you do the reinstall do you choose to format the drive and do a fresh install or a repair?

        I suggest that if you've backed up your data, then do a format and install.

        Is the cd you're using a read XP cd or a copy?

        This does not sound right at all. How did you reload Windows? Go through the part about formatting the drive.....

        ok i put in the cd i choose to install windows xp then it asks me to agree, i do, then i have to put in the product key, then another screen comes up with the advanced options and accessablility options, i click next, then it copys the installation files, then it restarts the computer, then the setup comes up, it checks a couple files, then that error message comes up then it quits. thats just about all of it

          I agree with GX1_Man, that doesn't sound right at all. When you do a format (fresh install) of Windows it should DO a format then install Windows.  Are you abolutely SURE you're doing a format?  :o It kinda sounds like you're doing a repair and not a format.
