This sounds like a shortage of video memory or maybe system memory. I bet
your video adapter shares system memory and is limited to 32K or 64K.
Try minimizing the number of windows that are opened during startup and then
reboot, open Firefox and see how it works.

Ok. I didn't think I would need to join the fray quite so soon. Here's the
deal. WinXP Home with SP2. 1.8gig Celeron with 512pc2100DDR. Zone Alarm
Pro
Trial, Avast Home 4 antivirus, Qwest DSL with MSN for the ISP which uses a
LAN cable between the computer and the modem. Spyware Blaster, Spybot S &
D
with the Tea-Timer.
Here is the current problem. Just yesterday my Firefox browser started
doing
this thing where it only loads half of the page according to the little
meter bar in the bottom right corner of the window. I tried using IE and
it
does the same thing. Here is what I have tried to fix it: Tried running
all
antispyware programs, a boot scan with the antivirus, a registry cleaning
using Regseeker from www.hoverdesk.net , which I have used for a couple of
years so I know it wouldnt screw things up. A One Button Checkup using the
minimal Norton Systemworks I have installed and lastly, I unplugged the
power to the modem for about a minute to reboot it.
The funny thing is that my Outlook Express works just like normal and its
getting out to pick up the mail just fine.
So any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time, Scott.
