    A couple of days ago after updating the latest Microsoft Security Updates, I started having trouble viewing things on the screen (like some frames on my igoogle home page) and I am now unable to click on some links (or like the pictures on ebay listings). I cannot figure out why, I am assuming it has something to do with the updates since that is when it started, I am unsure what to do... Any suggestions would be great. Thank you so much!

    Does this problem exist in multiple browsers, or just IE which I assume your using right now? :confused:

    Test to see if the problems you have in FireFox happen in Internet Explorer.
    If it just happens in FireFox check to see if you have any add-ons and disable them all, to see if that fixes the problem.

    I had some problems after the latest Security Updates also, and fortunately was able to solve them by resetting IE8 to the default settings, closing it out, and reopening it -- and then going into Options and putting my new settings back. You might try the same thing in Fire Fox.

    Another suggestion for you would be to look at your Problems and Solutions History (in Control Panel) to see if there is anything there that gives you a clue as to what happened. Check your Events History there also, and see what occurred on Aug 12th, the day of the last updates.
