I dont know whats wrong with my computer, but whenever i try to open yahoo messenger, it pops up then closes in a split second...and i just download quicktime, and i tried to open it and it did the exact same thing, it opened real fast, then closed again. Im not sure but i think some adjustments are out of whack or somethin, but i have no clue what to do.....anyone have any suggestions?

Scan your comp for viruses and spyware. I'd say thats your best bet. If not, system restore.
