Thanks for your suggestion.? Yes, I did reboot, but that didn't help.? I wasn't aware of the ability to start FF in safe mode, and I'll keep that in mind for the future.?
However, when I ran Spybot S&D it indicated that I had the malware Smitfraud-C.gp and an infected C:\Windows\svchost.exe and offered to delete these. After saying ok to delete, as soon as I ran Spybot again, it was back (or still there), so either Spybot didn't remove it, or something caused it to reappear.? What I decided to try -- and it did work -- was to do a system restore to a previous day's system checkpoint.? Yay!? Thanks for your suggestions. --Stu Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 11:42:19 -0400 From: Tom Piwowar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Mozilla stopped working MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" >Rebooted? In official Windows speak this is called "restart." It is amazing how often rebooting fixes things and how often people forget to try this first. Next is to try starting FFx in safe mode. Get to this via Start > All Programs> Mozilla FireFox > Mozilla FireFox (safe mode). This will offer you a bunch of options for clearing posssibly corrupt settings (which is probably your problem). ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
