Disapearing Windows

[Craig]

Hi
I am using windows xp. And just recently while browing the
internet some of IE 6.0 windows disapear from the taskbar
but then they return about 10 mins later. It has only
started recently so I was wondering if it is a secrity
patch that may have done it. I have anti virus software so
I don't think it is a virus.
Please could you help thanks craig
