My pc closes the internet browser that is open whenever I try to open another
one.
Any help would be most welcome
 
Hi,
If I understand... you can only have one Internet Explorer window open at a
time?

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.

Make sure it opens a new instance of the browser and not a shortcut. Opening
a shortcut to a website will cause an already open browser to be redirected.
 
Reading this thread it looks like Yahoo Toolbar could be a culprit:

I also know there's a registry tweak to let you open more IE windows, I just
don't remeber what it is.. (used it once at a friend, who couldn't open more
than two instances of IE)
