sometimes when using firefox or IE when i try to open firfox or ie nothing happens ...in task manager nothing seems to be happening ...the only I can do is restart my puter ...when I do this before it tries to restart I get the message that "xpcom" is trying not responding and do I want to end now ...can anyone help ?...I know xpcom is something to do with firefox but would it stop ie from opening ?

cheers

XPCOM (Cross Platform Component Object Model) is a simple, cross platform component model similar to CORBA or Microsoft COM. It has multiple language bindings and IDL descriptions so programmers can plug their custom functionality into the framework and connect it with other components.
