Sometimes when I am posting I am in a rush so I'll just click the X as soon as I get the confirm its posted and its redirecting me back to wherever...
ok my problem is this
sometimes when i close that window IE will just start opening up mass IE windows 1 after the other, and it wont stop, I let it get to 200 or so pages once but there is NO way to stop it.
CTRL ALT DEL brings up the box but you can only close 1 at a time, and its opening them as fast as it possibly can.
clicking the x doesnt work because they wont open in full screen so they are all slightly offset....

Anyone have this happen to them before?
Its happen to me 3 times at work and once at home
(work comp AMD K6-2 450mhz, comp at home 1800mhz athlon)

Just kinda annoying when it happens since I cant save anything open. Then I have to hit the reboot switch since it wont let me shut down from the ctrl alt del box.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Then just let me tell you,
OH MY GOD its annoying:P

It does it on a few comps using the same 6.0****** version of IE.

I was thinking that I have no idea why its doing it:P
because either the 1st page is opening them all (cant be since i always close that first)
or each page is running the same script like a java bomb

I dont know much about forums tho, could me stopping the return script somehow make it reload a blank page with the same script that tells it to reload the same page again?
and its not like it tells it just once:) each page tells an unlimited amount of other pages that it keeps creating to do the same.
so its like 1 2 4 16 it gets alot fast and bogs the comp up....

I know this cant ever be fixed because its probably just something that rarely happens.. I will test and see if I can get it to do it a very specific way and send the instructions on how to crash yourself! :)
*edit*
i changed my mind i would have to do this on your forums and that would eat not only bandwidth but it would make a ton of useless posts. I'll just keep an eye out if it does it to me again and remember exactly what happen.
