[newbie] Application Runing Problems

[GOOSE GOOSE]

Hello,

Whenver I connect to the Internet via the modem the applications in Linux 
don't execute - meaning I can click on the application (via the mouse) and 
nothing pops up. Would anybody know a fix to this problem? BTW I am using a 
US Robotics Modem.

THANK YOU very Much

GOOSE
