When I open a new window the other window closes

[Matt]

I use Windows XP and IE 6. When I select "open a new
window" after right clicking a link, the new window opens,
but the other window closes. I have updated, and have run
ad-aware and Spybot. Please help

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

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

If you're certain that another program is not causing this, these links may
help:
