Hello everyone! Glad I found this board!! I am going nuts with 2 problems I am having. Problem 1: I cannot open links on forums or anywhere!! When I click on a link nothing happens. Problem 2: When I click on (START) then (Search for files and folders) nothing happens. I am just trying to use my regular desktop search for files and folders and it dosen't do anything when I click on it. I ran hijack this and this is what I got:
