    Black Search Box of Death


    Can anyone tell me how to make it go away permanently? It pops up at random times - nothing in it; no searchbar, menu, taskbar...nothing but a black box that covers nearly half my screen and won't go away. It's maddening when I'm typing away at something and hit 2 keys simultaneously and boom! There it is. Any help would be appreciated.
