my browsers close by themselves...

[Guest]

well...

If i connect to the internet and then open a browser, it closes within seconds.

If i dont connect to the net, and open a browser (keeping it in the offline mode) it stays open.

The upon connecting to the internet, with the window in offline mode, it still stays open. When i make it online, then it still stays open... does anyone know what im talking about?

I am also having a similar problem. Can anyone help??

I have a dsl connection, running win xp home edition.

I can use alternate browsers, but the IE browser doesn't
wish to stay open. I find that if I go to Task Manager
and delte loads of stuff, I can eventually with with one
of the alternate browsers.

If I don't delete stuff, when a new webpage opens, it's
an IE browser, and it shuts down almost immediately.

Thank in advance

Java issue?

Tools/internet options/advanced/Microsoft VM
....only tick the JIT compiler box and leave the Java boxes un checked
(default)

Parasite issue?
IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the malware is.

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
