    Ok, whenever i have a window up, sometimes, but not all the time, it will not close it will just make the error sound when i click the X, no error message pops up, the only way to get rid of it is to alt cntrl del, and end task, but i've also noticed that whenever this happens, the iexplore.exe process in the task manager is usually using 98 or 99% of the CPU Usage, can anyone help me with this?

    hmmm, did this start to happen after you installed SP2?

    It may take sometime before you get used to firefox so don't if you don't like it at first keep using it! It took me a while to get used to it!

    I think it could be a bug? try this go to Start > Set programme and access defaults

    and select custom, set firefox as the default browser from there and see if it helps!
