Okay, I have several things going on:

1) If I type "www.xxxx.com" into the address bar, IE
closes immediately. No error message. However, I can
type "http://www.xxxx.com" and it works. (I have reset
default setting in IE and it did not fix the problem.)

2) Right click menus on the desktop close up after a few
seconds and desktop blinks off and then on again. No
error message.

3) IE window closes with almost any task. For example: If
I click on My Documents and select a file and then select
move or copy from the left menu, explorer closes up as
soon as file branch selection window comes up. Right
click menus also cause closing.

Basically, I can't do much and my IE windows close. I
have tried to reinstall XP, IE and have reset defaults. I
have run virus scans and snf /scannow without success.
Can someone help me out?
 
Check if a program running in the background is interfering with Internet
Explorer. Temporarily disable all Norton programs, including anti-virus, win
doctor, recycle bin protect, and clean sweep. Disable any firewall or
ad-blocker.
 
I have closed everything down and followed your
instructions. I even rebooted the computer with selective
startup to make sure that nothing was running in the
background. I am still having the problems.
