1- clicking a web link won't respond. Must copy and paste into browser.
2- IE 7 closes every few minutes.
3- printer suddenly won't print. Spits out blank page. Yet a nozel chect prints test pattern just fine.
4- keep getting two error messages - see attached.

the started when I upgraded to IE 8 and also installed Foxfire. Then I went back to IE 7 hoping it

Start over. Uninstall FireFox (not Foxfire). Reboot. Download and reinstall IE 7 (assuming you are still using IE 7 as noted above). Reboot. Then test.

You should also ensure you have the latest updates and patches.

Once you get IE fixed, you can then reinstall FireFox.
