Thanks, I do know about the system restore. Actually I just reinstalled the dvd program that I had uninstalled, and everything is back to normal and working. It's fucked up though that a dvd burning program that didnt even fricken work would have had this effect on browser windows opening??..oh well it works now and I usually have to format a few times a year, so the next format will get rid of this worthless program and not effect other shit...
Thanks for all the replies.
