Installed a new wireless printer on my home network. the two desktops running XP-SP2 are fine, but it made a complete mess of my Toshiba laptop, running Windows7.

knocked out the network, disabled my wireless adaptor, turned off the wireless on the laptop and also disabled my Avast anti virus.

Got the wireless enabled on the laptop, recovered and upgraded the anti virus program and got the network connected again.

Can use Explorer, but Firefox will not launch, either from the taskbar or from Start/programs. /they are there, but will not launch.
