White screen

[Remydobe]

When I close out my browser instead of it returning to the desktop it gives
me a white screen with no icons. I then have to reboot the cpu to get it
back. Any ideas? I run XP

What browser?

Press F5 to refresh the screen.. much quicker than a restart.

Press Ctrl/Alt-Delete and see if Explorer.exe is running.
