Firefox doesn't load at all, I get the beginning of the home page but it's all blank. When I send and error message to the Evil Empire, I'm told that the error is docume~|larry.pc|config~1|temp|WER5713.dir00|appcompat.txt.

When I click on the link on how to fix the problem, I go right back to the blank home page and hang again.

I never get an opportunity to do the reset thing.
