Wes Marrakesh Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Something very strange happened in the last two minutes. I was clicking a thread link, when all these blank popups bombarded me, flooding all window slots. Can't open task manager to shut IE off. Close one another takes its place. Bottom half of the start menu (with things like shut down) is invis. So I have to use the button. Has this happened to any of you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisces Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 The sad thing is I was stupid enough to click that. Curiosity pisses me off. Anyway, simple solution to those things. Hold Alt and continuously tap F4. If you do it quick enough it gets rid of them all and they stop coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phizzle Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 All I do (because I've had that you are an idiot one do it) is press ctrl+alt+dlt, then go to Processes and find the one with the biggest kbs (or iexplore if you will) and close it. Then open IE and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
