I did a very silly thing and stopped a process, which I cannot

the problem was connected to my use of Hide My IP (no evil intent on
my behalf).

Anyway the upshot is that I can no longer use Firefox. I've tried
re-installing and even downloaded Netscape to see if that would work.
Neither will open up a link and all I get is this on screen "Error
reported by Venturi" message. Explorer also will close down
unexpectedly with an exception violation, although it does work
(obviously).

I have tried System Restore and using msconfig, but to no avail.

Any advice would be most welcome as I do miss Firefox.

Since System Restore didn't work, the next thing I would try is this:

"How to start your computer by using the Last Known Good Configuration
feature in Windows XP":

In the event you are running Venturi VClient, you may need to check out
the FAQ page:

Lastly, you may need to contact Support at Hide My IP.
