File check process stopped during boot up.

[Steven Vollom]

When I tried to close down the browser, the bar that contains the "down 
arrow", the "up arrow" and the "X" for closing the application was missing.  
The page was locked in the full open status, so the page was not just pushed 
above the desktop top-of-screen position.  The only way I new to close the 
page was to shut down the computer.

When the computer was booting up, it stopped for a file check.  It was different 
this time because the items were blinking continuously.  When the computer got 
to 61%, it just stayed there blinking. I waited for a long period and finally 
pressed the "esc" key to continue the boot process.  The computer opened to 
the same browser page with no bar at the top that would allow me to close the 
page down.

This was a distraction I didn't want to deal with right now, but I managed to 
get to an email application to contact you.

If I try to open another browser, it opens to the same page wiithout closing 
capability.

I suspect the two occasions were related.  That is why I spoke of them 
together

Is this familiar to anyone?
