I can not connect to a program on my computer
I don't know if connecting is thru Firefox or just a microsoft problem. I can not get the program to open. when I try to open it just flashes and doesn't open. I am 82 and don't know who to call.

It would help to say which program and how you are trying to open it.
You can check for issues caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation that is missing runtime components (Redistributable Packages) required by Firefox, especially VCRUNTIME140_1.dll.
See "Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022":

You may also have to install the Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable Package. You need to reboot the computer.
