I dont get it. my pc has been fine up untill about a week ago. I use firefox for a browser and i open it and about two seconds later, it closes. no warning, no error messages, it just closes. my home page is myspace.com which it has been forever. It does seem to stay open longer if i immediately choose a bookmark other than myspace but still closes. I tried going online using internet explorer and same thing. ive done several virus scans and several spyware scans and registry repairs and it still does it!!! can anyone help me?

Hi welcome to PCHF
Can you try something for me I need to know if it is related to your profile can you login to the PC as another user and see if you have the same result as when loged in as you.Also worth trying to reset your browsers settings How to use Reset Internet Explorer Settings (RIES) |

i have two different accounts and it closes when logged in to either one. I am noticing though that its not closing when I redirect to a different site right away. Is it myspace? Its never done it before though

ok, i think it has to have something to do with myspace because if i go to myspace, my browser closes within a few seconds. other sites seem to be fine.

Yes
1. Go To Control Panel, and then click Internet Options.2.On the Advanced tab, click Reset.3.In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click Reset. 4.When Internet Explorer 7 finishes restoring the default settings, click Close, and then click OK two times. 5.Close Internet Explorer 7. The changes take effect the next time that you open Internet Explorer 7. Is it working now? |
