One day neither Firefox, Windows Explorer, nor Windows Mail will start up. No explanation as to why. I have connection to the internet, my virus definitions are up to date, and a program I use that works by remote desktop shows I am connected to the internet. Firefox starts in safe mode, but even if I reset it it won't start outside of safe mode.

Hey, Installed new drivers for the video card and it works perfectly. That was not an intuitively good solution - it didn't make sense to me beforehand that it was likely to work, but it did work so - so much for my intution! Thanks!
