    The application may be frozen. It can be removed by pressing CTRL+ALT+delete. Press 'task manager' and find the application not responding, then select the application and press 'end task'.

    You may need to press the "Fn" key in addition to Alt + F4 on your laptop. Especially if the Function keys on your laptops serve as extra buttons for other things.

    Every time I close my browser on my Lenovo Ultrabook, the next time I open it I get a message that I didn't close it correctly. Why? I just click on the X as I do with all other apps.

    It could be that your browser is corrupted. Try to reinstall your browser and see if that helps.
