I don't have an answer, but I seem to have the same
problem! I posted my question (below) earlier today, and
so far no answers. Others have had similar problems
apparently, and there are some fixes out there - scroll
down some more.

Good Luck!

Hi,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

And... you 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) My IE2 (a shell for IE) etc.
Yahoo Companion is a very common cause.

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

With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.

OK it's simple: I click on Internet Explorer nothing
comes up..... I try to download something. Like I try to
download Yahoo Messenger 6.0 it would get to the
installation I would press next it would just disappear?
I am so confused... I try to go to Add/Remove
Programs.... to reinstall it. but its not there... I went
to Microsoft to install IE 6 (I already have IE 6) and
it would get half way then disappear....

I am have the same problem except I know what is causing
mine but I have not been able to fix it yet. If I open a
window that has a web component in it. My Parent and new
page both close.
