Internet Explorer problem

Hi,
Check the settings of any third-party security, privacy, ad-blocking
programs (or toolbars) that are installed. One of them is probably blocking
the new window. You may have to reconfigure (relax settings) or uninstall
the culprit.

This sounds, specifically, like the work of Ad-aware Pro- the "Block
pop-ups" feature. It sometimes allows a window to open momentarily before
closing it.

Hope this helps,
Don

When i try to open another window such as this New Question window it
disapears.
Click to expand...

Go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced.
Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts".

Also, if you have 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 (especially uninstall Yahoo Companion).

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 may
help.
