Every once in a while, this happens to me. I'm in a specific post, and I'm leaving the forum (sutting down the browser) and I hit the back button before closing the browser (red X). Well, because the browser wants to go back to the last page it will open up like 60-80 browser windows, cascading over and over and over...... Crazy computers. "Internet! Is that thing still around?"

I've had that happen to me as well Rod... Not recently but it has happened in the past. No idea what causes it though... |

The red X is not to close the browser. It is to abort the current action. |

Rod, out of curiosity, have you ever dropped some drinks on your keyboard? Could be that you'd have a key that stays stuck and provokes this? |

No, I know exactly when this happens and I can now make it happen at will. Here is how it happens. Press the back button, than before the screen changes, press the red X in the top right corner. Presto, you have just started the cascading windows and about 60+ windows should open up. Try it, you'll like it
Alain, I don't really speak computer that good, can you give us more. I always thought that it just closed the window, program etc.... |

It doesn't work for me. I feel left out. There are 2 X's. One is Red with a white background that resides next to the refresh button(Green arrows going in a circle) The other one is the one Rod is talking about (White X with a red background in the top right corner). That is for closing the browser.  |

Oh, I'm color blind I guess. Yes Graham is correct, the white X with red background (closes the window down). If I use the click the back button on my mouse (less mouse movments) than go shut down the window, the computer will try to open up the browser page which I initially wanted to go back to. So, If I'm on the OLF (95% of the browsing time) click back than the brain thinks "just go to bed you bozo" than I close down the browser, Bingo. Strange. This isn't a viral thing, just a Microsoft glitch or maybe it's a Logitech (mouse and keyboard) glitch. |
