Not sure what setting changed but when I go to a site and then click on a
link in the site I lose the primary site to the linked one that opens and no
back button is available causing me to re-start the internet to get back to
the original site....................BTW it doesn't occur in every
instance....any suggestions are appreciated

Open IE, click tools, options, advanced, untick the option to reuse windows
for launching shortcuts?

Adding to what Galen said:

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
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

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:

I got your email - for the sake of posterity and helping the group should
someone else wonder - I'd like you to try Ramesh's suggestions next if you
don't mind. If that doesn't work we'll head off on a malware hunt as that'd
be the next logical step in my mind.

problem for now..only wish I knew what happened
