shosta Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Can someone maybe throw some light on a problem i have.My operating system is Vista Home Premium and i am using Office 2007 which was installed approx 2 months ago,and i use Internet Explorer.The problem is that when i go to start,search and type in , say three letters, i start to get a list of news stories etc under the heading of Communications.It can be really any three letters and loads ofthese headlines appear.I have no idea where these come from.I would like to stop these be downloaded to my computer as i have not set anything to allow this.I assume a lot of space is being used with these stories and would like to reclaim the space.

muttley_the_ Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 no idea tbh but vista is a dire os you'd solve soooo many problems and free up resources and have a much faster experience with either going back to win xp pro sp3 or win 7 depends on how up to date your pc is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shosta Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Thanks for the reply.I have been thinking of changing my o/s as i have xp installed on my desktop but don`t think its being supported as much by microsoft?Vista is installed on my laptop and is about 2 years old.Think the problem arose by installing office 2007.

dosxuk Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You're probably subscribed to some news websites RSS feeds, either in Internet Explorer or Outlook. Which browser do you normally use, and do you use Outlook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew19a Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Just scrap your whole OS ... if you got a gig of ram or more stick on W7. Better tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I use outlook but i am not aware of subscribing to anything. Open Outlook, go to the Tools menu, then Accounts. Open the RSS Feeds tab. If there are any items in the list there, select each on and use the Remove button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
