For some reason when I x out of IE7, it can take upto 10 seconds for the window to actually close :confused:

It's only recently started doing this and it's rather annoying!

Any ideas on why it might be happening and what I can do to stop it?

I'm running xp.

If you open more tabs - do they take ages to close too?

yes they do!

I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago. I'll see if I can locate the thread for you.
