Recently my computer has had problems creating and making new windows. This usually occurs after one hour after rebooting and consist of:

 

 

 

1/Windows not working, opening but no working when the url is pasted.

 

 

 

2/Windows not opening at all

 

 

 

3/Windows not closing, casuing an error

 

 

 

4/Windows opening without the file,edit bars.etc

 

 

 

5/Buttons not working, eg. scroll stops working, back and forward buttons wont work.

 

 

 

6/ Other programs will not work

 

 

 

Any help?

Aside from making sure your OS is updated and all Virus/Spyware/Adware scans have been run recently, I'd recommend that you install HijackThis and post a log here.

Forget the first two, and instead post a HJT log.

Do you know anything about Internet Explorer? There is nothing wrong with using it. I've been using Internet Explorer at home and at work for many years as my primary browser, I do not suffer from any usability issues nor any spyware or viruses.

I second that. -.-

 

 

 

Firefox, Opera and the rest admittedly do protect you against the majority of bad sites (as they're intended for those using IE) but you do know that all browsers have security flaws?

 

 

 

Thread starter, you really should give us some feedback. :-k

It all depends. If your using it to google the first 13 presidents, sure it works. Even using it to check e-mail is fine as long as your not prone to click on all your junk mail / virus infested emails.... but if your going to be going to semi-dodgy sites, things that are completely legal but still have that loom of "is this safe?" over it... I won't go their without FF. Even I know a few very simple flaws in IE that can completly crash a system

 

 

 

Just as an example, at home I use FF, and check a few sites on a regular basis for information and what not, these sites falling under the semi-dodgy catagory. I went to check them at school, where they use IE, and I got a warning from their mcafee about an exploit that downloaded a trojan onto the computer.... Actually, I've been using a host for quite some time, it's a free one so visiting the site gives you a few pop ups. In FF, I never saw these pop ups, I had a friend go to the site to download something the otherday, and not only was he spammed with popups, he too got a virus (didn't saw what) and spyware from just visiting there... needless to say I am dumping that host.

 

 

 

Yea, FF has flaws, but thats like comparing a locked car to a locked car inside a locked garage inside of a locked estate with a big gate and mean lookin' gaurd dogs.
