Browser won't let me open in new window

[Guest]

Every time I try to open a new window, the browser will instead choose the
same window I'm in to pull up the new window. And it will not let me hit my
back button to go back. It effectively "eats" my other window. Make any
sense?? Help!!!!!! Thanks!

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.
