I've just inherited my Dads laptop and it has Vista on it. I quite like it but whatever internet browser I use, it does random things.

If I try to open a page by clicking on a link, it'll sometimes either restore down or minimize the page, same if I try to close the page I'm in it'll sometimes minimize it or restore down, rather than what I actually want it to do.

Is this a common thing with internet browers when using Vista? Is there a patch or an update or anyway to stop it?

Umm, no.

My dad was relatively PC literate, but not too much. I'll give that a go.
