Internet Explorer Will Not Close

Problem: Internet explorer is open. You want to close it by clicking the red x in the upper right hand corner of the screen an it won't close. The only way you can close it, is by Ctrl>Alt>Del and then ending task.

Solution: I fixed it by going to Tools > Options in internet explorer. Then clicking the Advanced tab. Scroll down to where you see "Enable Third Party Browser Extensions", make sure this is unchecked. Depending on which version you have, you will either need to restart internet explorer or rebooting your computer.

What do I do? Excel freezes up.

I know this works in excel 2002. It should work in other versions.

Problem:
You open excel, it freezes up your computer and says there is not enough memory.


Fix:
Uninstalling excel will and reinstalling will not fix this problem. More than likely, the menu file is corrupt. With excel closed, open windows explorer and do a search for ".xlb" without the quotes. This is your menu file. Once the file shows up in the search, you need to delete it. The file you are looking for is Excel.xlb. Close windows explorer, open excel, and it is fixed.
