Hi Alan
thanks for your info, i went into Run and typed in exactly what you told me
to but got a message saying Missing entry clear, so i followed the link and
tryed to remove it from the regisrty and still not worked, any more help
would be appreciated

If you got that message, then I suspect you have not typed it exactly.
You must be exact with no space before Clear.
Copy and paste the command.

rundll32.exe iedkcs32.dll,Clear

What happened when you tried to remove it from the Registry?
Was "Window Title" there?
If so, did you remove it?
Any error messages?

Some 3rd party modifications can be in different places that mentioned
in the article above so you may have to use this:

Make up a file from the lines below. Copy into a file called fix.reg
which should be created in Notepad. Do not retype, copy in case of
errors. The 1st line in the file is the line REGEDIT4
Make sure your mail or news reader does not add any spaces to the end
of a line.
The last line must be blank.
Right-click fix.reg and select Merge.

-----copy below this line fix.reg------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Window Title"="Microsoft Internet Explorer"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar]
"Window Title"="Microsoft Internet Explorer"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Window Title"="Microsoft Internet Explorer"

//Registry Update File to remove IE Window Title

---- end file above here
