Brooke, definitely what Austin mentioned. One day last week I had the same issue with most screens in Chrome and Firefox. Not sure what the problem was, but I had Microsoft updates that had downloaded and required a reboot and once I rebooted, the problem went away.

If it is Chrome or Firefox causing her problem, sometimes an uninstall and reinstall will fix it. Those browsers are a lot easier to troubleshoot.

IE is more troublesome as it's deeply embedded into Windows and harder to fix even after a reinstall of IE. The hotfix I linked to I've had to use once before and almost forgot about it. If IE is causing it, it will fix it. I had an issue also before with Outlook not opening links (email program) and had to run a similar fix that Microsoft provided. Most of the time it has to do with defaults, registry keys, and attributes.

Yeah the Microsoft Updates love to be restarted right after installation. When it's a big update, it changes things and in order for them to take place and not cause hiccups, the PC has to be restarted. Especially with critical updates and OS updates. Optional updates not so much.

I've tried everything and still no luck! I can't imagine what has happened.

I rebooted everything too.

I get to this point and when I click reset IE a yellow triangle appears with an ! inside it and it says to close all open windows and programs. I did and still the same. I don't have anything else open. ??
