One Instance of IE

[Thomas Humble]

IE 6.0.2800.1106 is causing me problems. Currently it
will only allow one instance of itself running at any
time. Sometimes when I click on a new URL IE will go to
that site and grey out the BACK button.

Here are the things I have done to this point to correct
the problem:

Ran: regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 mshtml.dll
regsvr32 pdm32.dll
and on a few others listed in a KB article.

Made sure the checkbox in Internet Options -> Advanced
tab -> "Reuse windows for launching Shortcuts."

Help! Thanks,

Tom Humble

Hi,
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.

BHO Demon from http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm may find the
offending program/BHO.

Or it could be caused by spyware/parasites. Work through the solutions
(CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

Hope this helps,
