Unable to open multiple browser windows in IE

G

Guest

Since installing SP@, I have not been able to open multiple windows. I have
tried the following which were suggested here without success:
1.Tools/options/advanced/ unchecked 'reuse windows for launching shortcuts'
2.Tools/options/programs/ reset web settings & Tools/options/advanced/ reset
defaults

When I press ctl-N or file/new/window I just get the current page refreshed,
not a new window.

I am running Mcaffee security suite and have privavy service and block
pop-ups disabled?

Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance

Hi Richard :)

Try the following and see if it helps

Open Multiple Windows In IE

To keep more than one browser window open at a time, click File in the main
menu, select New, then Window. To close a browser window, click the X in the
top right-hand corner or select Close from the File menu. You can also open
a new browser window with Ctrl+N.

Try these steps:
Open IE, tools, internet options.
Select Advanced tab and click the [restore defaults] button.
Later, select the Programs and click the [reset web settings] button.
Click OK.

You may have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, a firewall, Earthlink (or
another) pop-up blocker, etc. You'll have to uninstall the program or turn
off the feature that's blocking new windows.

With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.

Thanks for the quick response. I have tried all these, which I found in a
previous post. There was only one registry.dll which was not found....but
since that was from a post referring to IE 4.01, I disregarded it.

Anything else that might work?

Thanks in advance
