Can't open a NEW IE browser, old one closes...

[Guest]

I can't open a new internet window without any open windows being closed.
Is this due to a virus, or setting?
Please help?

Hi

Try the following and see if it will help:

Yahoo installations have been known to cause this problem. If you have Yahoo
toolbar disable it, or if you have Yahoo Companion, uninstall it. See here:
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers.htm#new_window

If you have any popup blocker programs, disable them and try again.

and…...

To keep more than one browser window open at a time, click File in the main
menu, select New, then Window. To close a browser window, click the X in the
top right-hand corner or select Close from the File menu. You can also open
a new browser window with Ctrl+N.

You probably have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, a firewall,
Earthlink (or another) pop-up blocker, MyIE2 (or another shell for IE) etc.

You'll have to turn off the feature that's blocking new windows or, perhaps,
uninstall the program.
