When I am on the internet and on a website if I open a new page,it won't close out. I have been doing control+alt+delete and end task. But then it closes the internet explorer.
I have no clue what it causing this.

Please help.
Scan for viruses, trojans and spyware.I found ad ware and removed it,but it didn't solve the problem. It only does it on line. When I work off line on my computer it will close out. Is there some setting that I am overlooking?
Thank you

Amyi have the same problem. i reinstalled countless times and it still doesn't work. when i try to go to windows updates internet explorer just freezes on me so i cant get SP2I have seen that happen on illegal versions of Windows XP.

Do, by any chance, have a copied version and/or product key/activation key?
