I am running Win XP Pro. After attempting to install 3.6.9, I delayed the reboot. When I finally did the reboot all appeared to be OK. However, when I attempt to open Firefox I get a message that I must reboot to complete the installation. Clearly there is a flag (maybe in the registry) which did not get cleared properly. Help, I have reinstalled several older versions and they have worked fine. When I try to reinstall 3.6.9 the installation stops and reports that I must reboot first. I have tryed to remove 3.6.9 but that also stops with the reboot meassage. edit
