I am having trouble closing a window when i want to leave
a web site, i try closing it by the close button on the
top right habd side but it won't let me close. The only
way i can close a window is via the ctrl/alt and delete
button. can anybody help as this this very annoying. My
operating system is windows me.

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC
http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/stinger.exe

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to

and other such nasties from your system.
