Can someone explain to me why, when i have IE open & minimized it takes 5 or 6 clicks before it maximises again? I know i could right click and click maximise but i want to know what causes this as clicking it to maximise is easier IMO.

:)

I'm sure i've got the beta of the next version of IE kicking about actually, i should install it.

    The answer is easy. Micro$hite Internet Explorer is crap!

    Use Firefox instead, it is Teh Vest Evar :thumb:

    I'll tell you what the problem is: You've been infected by the most destructive virus ever. Not only does it produce several inexplainable little things like that, it also allows many other viruses to infect your computer too.
    It's called "Windows".

    I havent no, and i am not sure how as theres no uninstaller to be seen in add/remove progs, it's like it's built it. Typical Micromonopolysoft move their.

    Zalbor, you are correct : ( .. However at the time of purchasing this computer i wasnt as computer literate as i am now and dint know any better. Thats my defence and im sticking to it.

    My computer is completely free of any shite, yet it's been playing up a bit recently. Making odd beeping / warning etc sounds with no pop ups or anything.

    Damn computer!

    You can un-install IE (well sort off) by going to add/remove window components...

    It won't actually empty the all folder and everything, but it is worth the shot.

    I think he means it's the default browser with MSN, when you click the button to check your mail it opens up an IE window.
