   The only new software I have installed in the last week is the Wondershare program given away on May 27. I did not see any indication that my default search engine of Bing would be changed during installation, but today Sunday May 29), Yahoo is now my default search. I've tried to switch it back but it will not work. I've tried setting other searches as default and nothing changes. The options are either greyed out or do nothing when I "set as default" I can still switch searches manually in the drop down, but this is not how I prefer to do it. I am legally blind and find Bing or Google the easiest to use.

   OS - Vista Home Premium 32 bit sp2. Using IE8.

   Thanks for any help you can provide - dn

   Another problem caused was that every time I opened my Windows Mail, I had to re-enter all my personal email addresses and passwords despite having them saved and set to auto connect. (I am the only one to ever use this PC so have been secure doing this). I also had to confirm email address and password to SEND emails! :-(

   So, this morning I decided to uninstall the Wondershare Slideshow builder program from May 28 and was relieved to see that my default search was restored and my emails are now coming and going as they should be.

   I've never had an issue like this with software from Wondershare or from GOTD programs before. The previous version that I had installed caused no issues of any kind. Sorry to lose the program, but just not worth the hassle.
