One of the IE annoyances. Maximise a window and then close it, try half size too open + close before opening a second window.

Since you don't mention the browser I'm assuming it's IE.
If it was Firefox then you use tabs instead of windows problem solved

With IE you have to empty the cache every so often to clean down stuff - probably not the problem you have but worth a try.

Also which verision of IE 5/5.5/6 ?
Not going to ask about patches since you should always use the latest patches with IE.

its an xp machine in work which doesnt allow installing programs so firefox is out of the question

its the version 6 of IE with xp sp2 so dont think its an update problem someone suggested spyware but i cant install spyware or adware remover does any one know of an alternative way of searching and removeing spyware
