IE or Firefox won't launch
This doesn't always occur and I can't figure out what initiates the problem. Usually in the morning when I get on my computer is when it happens. I click on the IE or Firefox icons and it never launches the internet session. I only get a small blue circle that is viewable in the task bar like its waiting for the session to launch, but it never does. I've attempted to launch them several different ways but nothing seems to work. I have found that when I restart my computer it fixes the problem, but is usually comes back 1-2 times a week, until I restart again. I've searched a lot of forums but haven't found someone with the same issue. Please help, its driving me crazy. -- hola12 Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

It could be hardware, software, or both. There isn't any way to tell without more details from you. The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't? The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and versions) did you use to determine this? Be sure the computer is clean: http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...moving_Malware Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ

And here's why: You are not posting on a real forum as you think you are and you didn't quote any of the thread to which you are replying. You are using a web interface that leeches Usenet posts and most of the rest of us are using real newsreaders. We don't see what you do. If you want to participate in Usenet, the better way is to set up a newsreader. This is very easy to do and I'll give you information about that below. If you prefer to use a forum, then here are two excellent ones: http://forum.aumha.org/index.php http://http://computerhaven.info/ Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it. Here are some links to information about newsgroups: About Usenet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet http://www.faqs.org/faqs/ - Usenet FAQs from the Internet FAQ Archives http://www.usenetmonster.com/infocenter/ http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Usenet - a brief explanation of newsgroups Outlook Express/Windows Mail as Newsreader: http://michaelstevenstech.com/outloo...snewreader.htm http://rickrogers.org/setupoe.htm http://vistasupport.mvps.org/accessi...ndows_mail.htm How to Post: http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Usenet http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 - How to Ask a Question http://users.tpg.com.au/bzyhjr/liszt.htm - How Not to Get Technical Help on Usenet http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://aumha.org/nntp.htm - list of MS newsgroups microsoft.public.test.here - MS group to test if your newsreader is working properly http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/munad.htm - how to munge email address http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting - crossposting http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm - multiposting Other Newsreaders for Windows: http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php - Forte http://www.mozilla.org - Thunderbird Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
