!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Certain programs won't operate. At first, I thought it was my IE, but then I noticed that I was having problems w/ programs offline, too.
Some programs (ex. my Norton Anti-V) will pop up & then disappear - no error mess. or anything - they just disappear. The same thing occurs when I open some webpages. The whole explorer window will just disappear, no error mess. or anything!
I can't even run my disc cleanup. That program will at least open, but it's like it's frozen. The task bar sticks to 3 notches (when it 1st loads it starts w/ 3, also, for some strange reason), and it just stays there!
I don't know if I've deleted something cruicial or if there is possibly a virus, because my virus program won't run.
I've ran diagnostics test through a couple programs and all the test come up as if everything is running correctly.
I have Windows XP & have also installed the SP2 update.
I can't pinpoint exactly when the problem started occurying, but I'm sure it's been within the last month. Please help!

check your sp2 firewall config?
