Sorry but I'm not real clear here. "Close" = shut a browser window or "close" = go to your home page or some other URL?

 

Close a window (URL). Sorry I failed to express myself properly. Thanks

 

Try this general cleanup (can't hurt, will help, may or may not fix your problem) and post back.

*************************

General clean-up instructions for Win95/98/ME

• Open a browser window and dump all TIF (temporary internet files) and cookies. Close.
• Open windows explorer and
  .. delete the contents of all temp folders
  .. delete any files in c:\ with a name filennnn.chk (where nnnn is any number so file0001.chk, file1034.chk, etc)
• verify that you have fewer than 500 files & folders directly under c:\. If you are close to that number, remove or move some files.
• empty the recycle bin
• boot to DOS
• from the command prompt do the following
  .. scanreg /fix <ENTER> (press the ENTER key)
  .. scanreg /opt <ENTER>
  ****note that 95 does not have scanreg.exe but a copy from 98 or ME will run fine if you can get one
  .. scandisk c:\ /nosave /autofix /surface <ENTER>
  .. Win /D:M (forces a safe mode windows start)
• Run another scandisk (start~programs~accessories~system tools) and check for a standard scan and to fix all errors found. The DOS scan couldn't check for long file name issues.
• Run a defrag
• Reboot to normal Windows.

 

Performed General clean-up procedure.Thanks. One issue remains: Receive ACRORD32 in the adobe Acrobat not responding when hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete after a freeze when I try to close the window. Please advise. Thanks for your time.
