I have just started having problems not being able to
have more than one ie window open at a time.
I click "open in new window" and it opens the new window,
but closes the old one.
It does the same with hyperlinks and also going to "file,
new, window" does the same thing.

any ideas ???
 
Just saw this on another post and tried it
uninstalled yahoo companion and now ie works fine.

Thanks for posting that. I installed Yahoo messanger last
night and today my browser closed as soon as I tried to
open another one.
I uninstalled Yahoo companion and now it works fine.

Thanks for that.
 
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR POST.. I HAD LOOKED IN TROUBLESHOOTING Q/A AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING.. AGAIN THANKS
 
Thank you for this POST,

I was killing myself trying to make this happen... the only difference was
that only one of my users could open more than one window, and now I
eliminated all Yahoo software/toolbar/messenger/etc... and it all works well.

Thanx,

Johnny

I had the same problem, but I didn't have Yahoo Companion installed.
However, when I updated Acrobat Reader to Version 7.0, it attempted to
install Yahoo Toolbar on my browser. I didn't allow it to install during the
upgrade process, but it was listed in my Add or Remove Programs list in
Control Panel. Removing Yahoo Toolbar fixed the problem.

More Info:

This is usually caused by third-party browser add-ons. Disable all Pop-up
blockers if installed any. Here is a detailed note from Don Varnau, MS-MVP
Internet Explorer.

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

You'd be interested in using my program ToolbarCop to disable the IE add-ons
(that includes browser extensions, toolbars, additional buttons to the
standard toolbar, Browser Helper Objects) selectively, to isolate the
problem. ToolbarCop can be downloaded from:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4126.html
 
Before worrying about / uninstalling toolbars, etc., try the obvious:
Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>"Reuse windows for launching shortcuts".
Uncheck it. While Microsoft would probably like it if we were fearful of
third-party browser add-ons, I don't know how I'd manage <without them>!

This simple change worked in my case, WXP MCE SP2 with IE6 SP2.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! I have been losing my mind trying to
figure out why this was happening. Uninstalled yahoo messanger and now we
are back to normal.
