Mandriva 2008 Problem

aggghhh. So windows XP could not connect to the internet, so i booted up Mandriva 2008. Firefox connects and stuff (im using it now) but firefox continually dies all the time. If i google "opera for linux" it dies. If i go to "hotmail.com" it dies. If i try to download the udpate for AVG 8.0, it dies. Just closes without making a sound, poof its gone. all of a sudden, right in the middle of stuff.

Im trying to fix my XP, but even Linux firefox wont let me do anything without dying. whaaaaa the fuck is going on?

firstly I would try reinstall it, so #urpme firefox, and then #urpmi firefox ( you gottta be super user )… Then if that won't work, just use the konqueror, or just "#urpmi opera" etc
