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.
Thank you for responding - I found this answer in a previous posts and tried
it. It did not work. I'm not running any new software, not have I
downloaded anything else but an update to Flash in the past week. I ran
spybot, ad-adware and Norton Antivirus as well. ???
Hi Laura,
I had the same problem, but found Frank's information to be good.
I tried the link below and followed the instructions, not sure which one
worked but one did.
Thanks.

i hope it works for you, too.
