So whats this calle then?

when you click on a link on a post on here and hundreds of IE's open up at once and the more you delete the more open...so that you have no other alternative than to restart very quickly before it crashes your system...I thought Ebomb but someone else thought spammer...but the IE were empty...:confused:

    thanks for that...actually its a new laptop so I haven't sorted out the sticky keys yet...I've only had the laptop for 8 days...I thought you had to set sticky keys up by yourself and that the lappy couldn't do it all by itself...
    :)sorry not new to computers but very new to laptops...its a whole different ballgame isn't it...:o

    IBM (now Lenovo) laptops had a great trick of turning on their number locks at random. You'd be amazed what a computer can get up to! :D
