Trouble with returning to pages visited

Any help is GREATLY appreciated with this...

For some reason, whenever I click on a link for an email address or a link
that would normally open a new window, it just all opens in the current
window I'm in and won't let me hit the Back button to go back to the previous
page. Also, when I try to open more than one instance of IE, it just closes
the previous window of IE and won't let me have more than one going. I've
searched for any settings that may be causing this, and I can't figure it out
- never had this problem before. Any ideas? Thanks for your time! :)

Hi,
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. Disabling the Yahoo pop-up blocker
may allow a second window to open. Or you may have to uninstall the toolbar
from Control Panel> Add or remove programs.

Hope this helps,
