...anyone help? This is not a problem with tabs - I know how to use them. This relates to individual windows. Like when you click a link and it opens in its own window. If I close one, they all close. Often I can get as many as 10 windows open - I can't close any until I am done with all of them or all my work and seaches go caput. I forget and then I want to throw my poor offending computer.

Details: This has been hapening since the first day I bought this computer which was about two months ago.
I am running IE 7.0 and Windows Vista Home edition (yuck).


I downloaded and am generally happy with Firefox but some things are just not adapted well to Firefox (my bank's programs, hotmail, snapfish to name a few).
