It shouldn't make a difference, but if you're using IE, go to tools, internet options, then advanced tab. Look for "reuse windows for" (can't remember the proper name) and disable it. Can't see it making a difference, but you just never know with M$ products, assuming thats what you are using. Other than that, have you tried rebooting? Normally solves most of my behavioural problems, well not mine personally, the pc I have no behavoural problems, that I know of anyway.

Good luck

If what Eli says doesnt work, try a quick scanreg /fix and see if that helps at all, sometimes the registry get its knickers in a twist.
