Has anyone experienced a problem when trying to open two
or more Internet Explorer programs? For example, I can
open msn.com. When I open a new browser, it takes the
place of my first browser. Also, Ctrl N does not open a
new browser. It also takes the place of any open
browser....

I have already unchecked the Reuse windows for launching
shortcuts, and this did not fix the problem...

Thanks,
Bob

Hi
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) 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.

If you're *sure* that another program isn't causing this, these links may
help.
