Cannot Close Browser Window

[An An]

Hi all,

I seemed to have problem closing the browser window once I
finished using it. As a result, I would have to resort to
using Alt+Ctrl+Del and the Task Manager to close it.

May I know what could be the reason and what can be done
to remedy this.

Thanks.

i am having this problem as well, i have tried re-installing, and i guess
you can't uninstall ie6. i don't know the solution.

I followed these instructions from Nija, that were aimed at a different
problem, but it worked.

I think it was the "Hijacker program that did the trick.
