    Hello there out in Major Geeks land. I come to you now in dire need of some enlightenment! I have recentlt come across some sort of error where my web brosers (IE7, Firefox 3 and Maxathon2) all fail to search after a couple of hours. This seems to happen at total random; and at the most inopportune moments. I can exit the browser but when I attempt to reopen it all I get is the loading icon by the mouse and nothing. These seems to stack up in the Task Manager tray where I can get rid of all but the original culprit.

    I am in the process of doing the "READ FIRST" steps and will post the results I get.

    Hopefully someone out there in the tubes will be able to help me!
