I am running 2 laptops at present; (1) a Panasonic with XP and (2) an Acer with Windows 7. I can run applications like Metatrader and skype on my Panasonic no problem, but recently, I can't seem to load any of my browsers (I have Firefox & Explorer). They simply will not load. The "egg timer" on the cursor comes on but it simply will not load the browser at anymore.

In addition, my Acer's performance has been terrible lately. Whenever I use either of the 2 browsers I mentioned above, they are slower than usual and require 2-4 clicks of the mouse before I am able to pull up a web page etc. I use SuperAntiSpyware occasionally. I am tempted to restore the machine to a previous date (such as factory) but I am hesitant to do so as my other laptop isn't functioning properly now!
