when I want to close a screen in Internet Explorer, it just won't work. I have to open the task manager to close it. It's pretty annoying, so i hope someone can tell me what's wrong.

We'll need to know your OS and your Browser version.

Did you install any software during the time that you first noticed the symptom?

Have there been any other odd behaviors by your system, even brief or transient?

Do you get any error messages when trying to close a window?

Does task manager say the what the window you are trying to close is "running", and if so, do you get a "not responding: error when you close it?

Do you have Windows 2000 or higher? Because in our library, you try to close IE it wont let you because of "Restrictions" Placed on the computer.
You may have accidently changed a setting in your control panel or a program may have .

I'm using I.E. 6.0 on Windows XP.
Don't remember when it actually started.
No error messages, that's what's so strange.
'not responding' does appear in the task bar.
Fortunately nothing else is acting weird.

You could try going into Internet Options on your browser (Tools...internet options), run through all the tabs and set everything to default that IE allows.

Try that, and let us know.

After several years of waiting, I was wondering how you made out with this particular problem?
