>> Touch wood since running the command regsvr32 actxprxy.dll I've had no further problems.
Did I really say that some 3½ weeks ago? How wrong I was.
I might have fixed the IE8 tab closing problem by running the above line in a command window, but I don't think that was the real cause of the problem. My internet connection has been getting slower and slower. Some websites wouldn't even open, including this one, until I had refreshed the page several times. Some evenings it would be fine, others not. If I rebooted the PC then everything appeared to be ok for a little while again. I knew it wasn't my internet connection as when I use the laptop on the same connection everything was fine.
I uninstalled IE8 and reverted back to IE7. All ok for a little while, then the same problem again. I tried numerous 'fixes' found via a google search, all to no avail.
Tonight however I think I've traced the real culprit. My antivirus software, namely AVG. Following my hours of googling, I found several mentions of AVG's link scanner and Zone Alarm causing conflicts with one another. Having uninstalled and reinstalled AVG without the Link Scanner option everything now appears to be ok again. Time will tell.
