Hi Loy,
Most connection software provided by ISPs is bloated, unnecessary and
usually installs a lot of 'extras' you may not want or need, as you now
know. I suggest you try uninstalling the PeoplePC software and manually set
up your Internet connection. In most cases all you need is the server
information for incoming mail (POP3), outgoing mail (SMTP), and your account
user name and password. I'm not familiar with Thunderbird but it probably
already has this information. If not, contact support at PeoplePC.
For the Internet Explorer (IE) problems, if you have it listed in Add or
Remove Programs in Control Panel you can attempt a repair, or revert back to
the previous version if you saved the old files. If you go back to the
previous version you can attempt to install IE6 again. See the following
links for more information:
How to Uninstall Internet Explorer 6:

If you are experiencing other problems you might evaluate the overall state
of Windows and consider the option of a clean install to start fresh again.

Subject: Re: [PCSOFT] Menu Bar in IE 6.0
Good morning,
Further on this problem: now, whenever I try to open IE I get the
following:
Internet Explorer error message: mainAutomation Server can't create object
Then, it gives a "This page cannot be displayed" error on everything
selected. At the bottom of this page it says, "Cannot find server or
DNS error"
I do not have IE selected as my default internet browser. Could it be
that it's feelings are hurt and it won't work at all because it isn't
the default selection?
I tried to look under view/toolbars and I don't see anything there that
is ISP related.
I also tried the program that [log in to unmask] recommended. Thanks! It
looks like a good program to have but it would not touch the persistent
peoplepc toolbar.
I tried downloading a whole new IE6 SP1 but it will not not let me do
that, either. After I download the setup file and run it, it gives the
same DNS error as above and refuses to run. I tried running it from the
Microsoft site and it will not run from there, either. I got suspicious
after that and checked my antivirus program, AVG Pro, and is has found
nothing on my system.
