Everytime i click on a new link, that's supposed to open a new window, it
closes the current one, but opens a new window.
even if i have open explorer, and i click on explorer again, to open a new
window it closes current one.
Basically i can have open only one window at a time.
i have xp pro sp2
and ie is updated with sp2
 
Hi,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

And... you may have a toolbar or program running which is blocking
pop-up windows- something like Yahoo toolbar, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar,
etc.
The Yahoo toolbar is a very common cause. Uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar
should allow a second window to open.

If you're sure that another program isn't causing this, these links should
help.
