Having a weird problem with firefox and IE. If I have firefox open and I goto file, open file. Nothing happens, the file explorer window doesn't open. The samething happens in IE. Also when I am trying to upload files to a website such as youtube, flickr, etc... When I hit browse on the site to select which file, nothing happens. That same file explorer doesn't come up and let me choose a file.

I am running Windows Vista Business x64 w/ SP1

The problem came out of nowhere, i've had SP1 installed for awhile now before encountering this problem. I ran lavasoft ad-aware, AVG virus scanner and windows defender and they all came up clean.

Thanks
