Opening more than 1 beowser window

[Guest]

I recently noticed that I cant open up more than 1 browser window at a time.
I didnt used to have this problem, but it is quite annoying. Everytime I
open up a new browser window the previsouly active one closes and the new one
opens. I have run some spyware tools to try to get rid of it, but nothing
helps.

Any ideas?

Hi,
Some possibilities:

From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

And... you may have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, 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.

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.
