Internet browsers not opening or responding
Hey there. Recently on my dads computer, there have been some problems trying to open any internet browser. The only one that responds with anything is Mozilla, which flags an error, saying ''Couldn't load XPCOM". The others are completely unresponsive, not opening or giving errors of any sort.
I've tried several things - it won't let me re/uninstall anything (like the browsers, simply seeming as if I didn't even click it), tried running as admin, and the computer was even restored to a time before the error occurred, to no avail.
The last thing updated was Skype, if that helps. The update and the first time the error started appearing happened to be on the same day (Monday), so I thought that might have something to do with it. Additionally, I can still access Skype and Steam, so the internet seems to be fine. No other computers in the household have the problem.
Any insight on, or fix for the problem would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, and if you need any additional information, go for it.
