I've also tried uninstalling it completely, and saving my bookmarks, then reinstalling and reapplying my bookmarks, and that didn't help either. I'm running Windows 7 Professional bit. If anyone has a good suggestion let me know, any help is much appreciated. May 27, 13 0 18, 0. I've tried that before, and that still has not fixed the problem.
