    Everytime I try to close my browser a box pops up and says "Your browser has shut down-windows will now restart" I have to click cancel 3 times real fast to keep it from reopening-over and over again? Thanks for any help you can give me

    Hi Maggie. Welcome to Windowsbbs! :) What Internet Browser are you using? Does this happen everytime you close your browser?

    If you're using IE 7, try running it without add-ons. You do this by clicking Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). After it opens, use it just a bit that way, then close it. Does it still crash?

    What operating system are you using?

    Also Clear all of your Temporary Internet Files. Open Internet Explorer, and click Tools< Delete browsing history< Delete All. See if that makes any difference as well. If disabling addons doesn't work and explorer still crashes then try shutting down all applications that are running in the system tray by the clock and then try launching IE again.
