Pc Problems All Of A Sudden

[Scarlett]

I tried to upload a video to YouTube yesterday and it just stayed at 0% for hours. I tried different browsers/updating browsers. No luck. Also Adobe reader now crashes when I try and use it, shortly after opening. I uninstalled it and restarted and now can't actually download it- the download page just seems to go offline even though my internet works fine. Seems to be some sort of connectivity problem but no idea what?! I have windows xp and use Firefox. Any help gratefully received!

i also can't upload photos to Facebook!

And I downloaded Chrome to see if that worked and now when I click on it, it doesn't open.

Adobe Reader is horrid, bloated software anyway. You don't need it. The most popular alternative is Foxit Reader:

but I use (and love) SumatraPDF:

With regard to your current problems though, System Restore (from Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools) can take your PC's registry back a few days, to a date when the problems weren't there. Using it won't delete any files (such as documents, pictures or videos) which you've created in the past few days but it will remove any software you've installed (such as Chrome) during that period.

Thank you SO MUCH!

You've not said how your connecting to the internet, but one of the very first steps taken, should be a re-start of your router.
