browser problem

[Chuka]

Hello People
I would really appreciate anybody's input on this. All of
a sudden when i try to launch internet explorer, all the
icons on my desktop including the START menu and the whole
bar disappear for a few seconds and then nothing happens.
No internet explorer comes up.

I also noticed that if I try to launch my computer, my
music etc the same thing happens.

Please if anybody knows what is going on could you please
advise me on what to do to resolve the problem.

Thanks

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
