IE will not open a new window. I have changed the settings, re-installed it,
ran virus and syware checks and no matter what the same window will be reused
and I can not open another IE window. When I try the original window is
refreshed. And when it refreshes using the back feature is not an option. I
appreciate any help any one can provide me with.
 
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 Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar,
etc.
Yahoo Companion is a very common cause. Uninstalling Yahoo Companion is the
cure.

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.

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

Don,
You are a God Send! I didn't even know I had a Yahoo Toolbar and sure
enough it was there. Once uninstalled the problem went away! I have been
trying to figure this out all day and you just answered my call! Thanks a
million!
