Perhaps I should have started this thread this morning instead of trying to sort out the problem myself.
So, when I tried to answer my new googlemails a blank screen appeared instead of the usual editor. I tried the usual things, trying g-mail in Firefox (which gave a short error in the bottom bar, something about an application already in use) So, I did a virus scan, checked other software. Nothing wrong, only no way of answering gmails.
As I was planning on refreshing the complete C: partition one of these years, this problem expedited that decision and after reinstalling home windows XP (German Version) gmail worked fine again.
Then I went on doing all the other things reinstalling the lot, including the windows updates, only to find out that the problem had returned again.
After some evalutation I uninstalled the windows updates and sure enough gmail worked fine again. So obviously the updates kill gmail
Familiar problem? Any suggestions to have both the updates and gmail?
Has microsoft started the open hostilities with the other software producers, disabling their stuff in windows?
