Cannot open more than one ie window

[Guest]

When I right click on a link and click on "open in a new window", I get a new
window with the right info but my original window closes! This also happens
when I open ie a second time - the first open window closes. I cannot seem
to get more than one window open at the same time. Any suggetions?

More info - this started after I installed sbc dsl - their tech support has
tried everything they can think of to fix this - no luck.

I have ie 6.0

Hi L Cruz

Try the following and see if it helps:

How to allow multiple windows

How to open Multiple Browser Windows
http://navigators.com/multiple_browsers.html

also..........

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.
