Microsoft Internet Explorer - browser closes on it's own


Expert: Aquaris - 2/14/2006

Question
I've been having problems playing some games on 2 different sites that I was able to play in the past, but can't now, because everytime I get into a game room, which opens up in a new browser, the new browser opens, and then the original browser closes, then the one that just opened.

Answer
1-Do you have any POP up blocker installed..?

If so... check with its documentation how to disable it for a particular site...

I have google bar installed and it has a pop up blocker... but when I want to allow a pop up... i press the CRTL key..to do so...selectivly..



though I do not use WinXp...  But the IE that comes with WinXp has a built in pop up blocker...
and whenever it blocks any pop up.. a  Blue blinking Bar appears just below the address Bar....and when you right click it... you get further options...

then If Spywares are not an issue...the other cuuse could be. .. the absence or corruption of  
a) JVM    ( java Virtual Machine )
.. though microsoft has discontinued its JVM .. but you can find it... elsewhere on the net...
Else you can use the Sun's  JRE  downloadable from their site..

and also the corruption on WSH  ( window scripting Host ) file ... which is available from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C717D943-7E4B-4622-86EB...

Of course its neccessary first to check the Security restriction if any imposed on the machine...
you can add the site to your trusted sites list by going through

Tools-->> internet options.
then clicking the security tab..
and then choosing the trusted sites icon....and manually adding them there..

..The third and most drastic reason could be that your IE  May have got corrupt...

... Hope it helps...





Just an after thought...

Have to tried any other alternate browser...

LIke  Netscape or  Firefox....??
