expertec Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I have a problem. When I click on Firefox, nothing happens. It appears in the running processes list, but the program doesn't appear on the screen, or in the applications list. What the ?????? :unsure: :( :blink: :angry: :o Can anybody help? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Oooerrr!What I usually do in cases like that is remove the program and re-install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Done that now, no improvement. :(I tried the Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode) from the start menu as well.... nothing. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 :unsure: System Restore?Have you been nobbled? Try a HJT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Well, my HJT log is clean. :o It's only since last night (downloading SP2 maybe :rolleyes:) that it's not working. I'll try a System Restore, if there are any restore points. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I restored it to a system checkpoint created yesterday evening for a time I know it was working, but that hasn't fixed it. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I downloaded SP2 through Firefox OK.Very strange!Got a system backup you could use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 That system restore didn't help with Firefox, (but it did mess up the new Ad-Aware installation) so I reversed it.System backup... no :whistling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 :woohoo:Sometimes computers just need booting! :angry: Uninstalled, reboot, install, boot again, runs fine! :D No idea why that happened? :unsure: :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Oops!Very surprised you don't have a backup available.I make a new backup every time I make an alteration to an application to my machines - even something a safe seeming as Ad-Aware. I'm not saying that Ad-Aware is responsible but that I would have made a B/U just in case.When you come to install SP2, make sure you do have a full system backup as there is a multitiude of things that could go wrong.
