it is a internet explorer window, and it is blank. The top bar doest have a minimize, maximize, or close button. The window is just stuck on the screen. I can move it but everytime i restart my computer it pops up again. Right clicking on the bar and trying to close it doesnt work either. Is there anything i can do to close the internet explorer window??????

Try closing it through the Task Manager.



Right click on the bottom taskbar and select TaskManager and close it that way!

You could try uninstalling the version of Internet Explorer that you are using.



You could also try going into the startup menu and disabling it if it's listed there. Just go to start, run, and type in msconfig. that will bring up the startup menu. Click on the startup tab and look for it in there.



It could also be a virus. So try running a scan and see if anything comes up.



Hope this helps.

Ctrl + Alt + Del...Select Task manager if needed...Otherwise it pops up. Under Applications tab select the IE process and End Task.

click on the button for that window on the task bar. this will give it focus. then press ALT+F4 to close it. If this doesn't do it then all you can do is restart our computer to get rid of it.

Press ctrl-alt-delete and open task manager. Find the window you want to close under applications, click on it, and click end task.

Restart your computer in safe mode (tap F8 repeatedly at the same time you press start and do it until a screen comes up that says safe mode. Select Safe Mode) and run your anti-spyware program.
