I have Google Chrome and IE on my Windows 7 PC. As of late, there will be times when neither browser will open. Mail works fine, all connections seem correct, but neither browser will open. Also, attachments in emails don't seem to work. So I then reboot and they work again but sometimes I have to restart a few times. It's odd and I can't figure it out. Any suggestions?
