[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Really Simple Computer Question

For some odd reason, for the last few hours, when I go to minimize one of the programs that is running, the program just closes (I think). It definitely does not do what it used to do, which was minimize to the bottom of the screen on the tool bar. I can hit the middle option and shrink the screne with the program, but can not hit the minimize button.

I am running Windows ME. I will assume I just hit some setting today without knowing I did it. Can anyone help?

Hrmm thats odd, have you tried rebooting since the problem started?

Is your OS running with the lastest updates/patches?

When my computer starts pulling little oddball stunts like that, I ususally get results by rebooting. However, every time I reboot, the computer is still running Windows, so rebooting is not a permanent solutiion. [whacko]
