Mia, I think it is a conspiracy. My husband kind of tricked me to go look at the 2012 Equinox because he thought I might like to have a newer one. The salesman quickly grabbed the keys and brought one up to the front for me to drive. I didn't drive it but I did get in and look. When we got the one I have now, I had six grandchildren here for a few days, and they ran an TV ad for zero percent financing in Joplin. He wanted me to go right then and find one. I had already driven one and thought they were OK, but we had just bought a new truck, so I wasn't looking for a car. He said what do you want on the car. Since we live in an area with quite a few hills, I didn't want to give up my four-wheel drive. My mother was still living at the time and I was having to make a lot of 300 mile trips so I said I wanted cruise control. He called from the dealer and told me they had two left with four wheel drive and cruise control. He told me the two colors they had, and I picked one. You can see how really excited I get over a new car. Needless to say, he has liked it a lot better than I have, but it's OK. LOL Now GardenWeb has this big ad, that every time I open a thread that says Chevy Equinox Sale 2012. I'm glad to know that it is on your computer too and that I'm not being targeted. LOL After hearing the forecast for this week, I probably should be shopping for an ark.

It would help to know which version of Windows and which version of Internet Explorer. And the Exact wording of the error message. You can frequently search exact error message wording and instantly find a fix. If XP you might go into 'Computer Management' and look at the 'Event Viewer' error logs. Sometimes that will show the error and supply a link to a suggested fix. If you don't know how to access 'Computer Management' Click help off the Start Menu. Before doing too much perhaps try going to Control Panel and Internet Options - Clear IE cache & offline files as well as clear the History too. If you have a spyware program, you might want to run it also. One thing that can cause that IE must close message is a firewall... have you added a new firewall ? You can only have one firewall running at a time.

I sometimes get that message when I have a loose connection, either with my cable modem or the Linksys router. It will clear after checking the connections and/or pushing the reset button. Just my 2 c's. Bejay

Check the postings on the link below to see if any of those help. My wife's computer behaves in a similar fashion and I made an odd discovery. She uses IE7 and if we open one instance of IE7 then click links in emails or on web pages then she could open those pages in a new window, not a tab of IE7. Close both windows and try again with no window already open - it failed to open. Strange. One day......... Here is a link that might be useful: Previous thread on this issue
