I am able to use Internet Explorer, but only one browser at a time. When I
try to open up a new browser, the one before/underneath it will freeze and I
will have to close it and reopen. Does anyone know why this is happening and
how to fix it? It has started happening recently and I would like this fixed
asap.

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.
