Any guidance ?

When I I've got a few pages open and I close any one of them (on the page using red cross or Close option from a right click when minimised) IE closes and exits back to the desktop

I've run an upto date virus check and nothings shows - is it a setting somewhere ?

If the answer is to reload IE - how do I do that from the OEM disk - without having to reload everything else as well ?

All else seems to be running perfectly.

Thanks

David

Hi David,

I've never seen that on IE, but, there are scripts ons some websites that forces IE to close any window instances (including the parent one) when you chose to close any child windows. So, is this happening only on one website or always ?

If it is a corrupted IE6 file issue, you can download and install it from Microsoft, at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en

Hi Chris - no the problem seems to be generic - all sites. As long as I leave pages open - everything works fine - but of course eventually there are simply too many to be sensible. Also every now and again you forget - and the damn thing closes down !

Very annoying.

If I do go for the reinstall option from the site you suggest - will this deinstall everything of the old IE - or do I need to go and do a bit more "weeding"

Kind regards

David

It will reinstall at the same location, overwriting any corrupted files.
You may save the installer (which only calls the main Windows site installer) to your hard disk and run it from there, (I recommend that as you'll not need to search for it anymore in the future) or select "open/run" from its original location.

Also, I notice that you said that you have an OEM XP disk; in that case, you can do a repair reinstall of XP and not lose your programs and data. Just make sure that you do indeed have a standalone XP OEM disk, and not a restore disk or you will lose everything.
