    I know that mate but when i go to gallery google is only there as option for an accelerator. I have just reset internet options and restored advanced settings but still no joy.

    I solved the problem by going here http://www.ieaddons.com/us/addons/default.aspx Tools/Manage add-ons/Search Providers. At the bottom of the window did not take me there it took me here http://www.iegallery.com/gb/addons/?...earchproviders

    Interesting. Your "searchproviders" link has "gb" where mine has "us". It looks like you wound up going to a "us" link after all, although is was the default adons page instead of the one limited to search providers.
