I'm unable to close out windows that I have open. I can
minimize and mazimize but they wont close. Also my tab
button will not work. Are there settings I can change
for the mouse and keyboard? The only way I have been
able to exit the open windows is to go ctrl., alt.,
delete and take them out that way. I had the blaster
worm and fixed that but I don't know if it has anything
to do with it because I just got this computer and got
the virus as soon as I went online with it. This is not
a new computer. It is a dell probably about 6 mos old
and I have Windows 2000 XP.
 
Nancy,

It is best if you have either Norton or McAfee installed
and updated at least daily. Either can be configured to
auto download the latest virus definitions so you stay
protected.

Have you run scandisk and defrag? Have you looked in the
task list for running viruses? Norton has a registry fixer
called "Win Doctor". It comes with Norton SystemWorks.
That has kept me clean and smooth. It also has a "One
Button Checkup" that does even more. Cleans out temp
files, cookies, checks the registry, etc.

By the way, you don't have "Win2000 XP". You either have
Win2000 OR XP.

Knowing how Dell, Gateway, HP, IBM, etc load so much junk
in a new computer I wouldn't be surprised if you received
some "convenient little tool" that is messing you up from
closing a window. Perhaps thru AOL instant messenger or
Microsoft instant messenger.

Hope this helps, Hank
