Please tell me how I can fix internet explorer 6 problem. I
cannot close window once browser opens. X in top right
corner does not work. System is windows xp pro. Using task
menu to close. Thank you.
 
Karen,
There's a good possibility that this is being caused by a third-party
program (adware, spyware, parasite)

Download, install, *update* and run these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/

Additional information at:

Search for common parasites at http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/

Less likely, but it could be caused by a legitimate program running in the
background such as anti-virus. Disable background applications one at a time
to see if you can find the culprit.

Regards,
Don
