dear donn,
I recently had the same problem I believe from reading
what you all had to say. I have IE 6, Win2k, and my
browser would not close sometimes and it would jsut beep
at me. While on another mesage board I found the following
solution. Not quite sure that it solve your problem, but I
bet that it will. Just be careful because you need to edit
the registry. I would strongly recommend backing up your
registry before editing it because it is possible to make
your computer unusable if you make a mistake. Anyway...to
fix the problem you need to delete the following registry
entry and then restart you internet explorer.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects
bye.
