So yeah, this most recent time when I had Comcast installed at my apartment, the damn guy put some kinda Comcast software on my machine. It changed the little 'busy' icon in IE to a Comcast logo, and uninstalling didn't change it back. Anybody know how I go about fixing it? I hardly use IE but this kind of crap bothers me.

Could try going into the Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers Tab and seeing if you can reset to the default pointer settings under schemes.

Get TweakUI from Microsoft.

Run it and expand the Internet Explorer section. Click on Small Animation and Large Animation to reset everything.

Note to everyone: Don't let wireline techs touch your computers. have them install the hardware, then get the fuck out.

^^^ Bajah knows what he's talking about. There is no need (Unless we're talking AOL) for you to install any software of any kind to access an ADSL or Cable modem internet service.

Even if they try to push some sort of free installation deal on you, kick the fucker out once he runs the line and puts power to the modem.

Especially since you're gonna have to unplug it all and hook up your router anyways.

Yeah, in the future I'm going to do just that. I forgot about TweakUI, thanks.
