I installed SP2 for Windows XP home edition back in September. Everything seemed fine. Then, I got a game that was supposed to work with XP but didn't. I (stupidly, yes I know) uninstalled SP2 to try and get the game to work. It didn't help anything. I re-installed SP2. However, now I can't use Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox to browse the internet. IE crashes and Firefox doesn't respond at all. I do have internet connectivity though because I can get my email in Outlook and, weirdly, I can browse the internet using Outlook. That's what I'm doing now, in fact. I type an address in Outlook's "address" bar and I can get to any page online. It's popups that are a problem since they try to open a page using IE or Firefox and that won't work. Does anyone have any ideas what I should do? I am at a loss here. Any help would be appreciated. Even my roommate who is a computer whiz can't fix this one. Thank you in advance!
