103031 2002-12-03 09:01:00 How do you stop windows closing completely when you press the minimise button?
This has happened to a friends PC running Win 98 after updating to MSN messenger 5.0
Got rid of 5.0 and put 4.6 back on it but it still happens
Any ideas??

You could try a repair of Internet Explorer - Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Internet Explorer and choose the Repair option.

Yes ......the window completely disappears from the taskbar
I might try that ...but would it work for all windows we open?
Cheers

103034 2002-12-03 20:07:00 It is worth a try. Internet Explorer is very closely tied in with Windows Explorer and if the problem happened after MSN (or whatever it was) was installed/uninstalled then it might work. I hope so. :-) Susan B (19)
103035 2002-12-03 20:59:00 Cheers Susan
I'll let them know
If it doesn't work i'll have to look for a fix on the net somewhere
Better let you get back to work
