Windows When I have multiple windows open, and I close one out it closes them all and returns me to desktop. How do I stop this?

Reinstall windows and use original HP drivers

Try running in compatibility mode. Make older programs run in this version of Windows Microsoft Windows...

If your HP computer refuses to power down, this means that there are still programs open that Windows can't close. Normally when you select the "Shut Down" button from your "Start" menu, Windows closes all open programs, then closes itself, and your basic input/output system (BIOS) turns off all of your hardware. If Windows can't close all open programs, your computer won't be able to power off. This means that you must close these programs yourself.

Right-click on the window of an open program on your Windows taskbar (Bottom of Screen) Click "Close Window." Windows manually closes the program. If a window appears on-screen indicating that Windows cannot get the program to close, click the "Force Close" button in this window to have Windows force the program to shut down. Repeat "Step 1" for any additional programs that are open on your computer. Click "Start." Click "Shut Down." Hope this helps.

1) Make sure your version is fully up to date via microsoft update.
2) Check your windows options and settings, see if there's a box to check/uncheck to stop all closing.

3) To speed up your PC, down load and install a free programme call Ccleaner from Filehippo.com

a) Run the cleaner.
b) From the "Tools" option choose "Startup" and remove every programme from your startup menu except for anti virus, firewall and malware applications.

Finally log onto either the Crucial or Orca websites, and check if you can add more ram.

Sounds like you have some wiring issues. Did you recently install any new hardware into your car? If so, I would check all the wiring to make sure it is correct and that you are not shorting anything out. Also check all the fuses to make sure none are blown or need replacing.

This issue could be conflict of flees between HP software and the Operating System.
