I can only have one IE window open at a time. When I try
to open a second window, the original window is
replaced.

I have tried several different fixes, none of which
worked.
 
Go to Tools > Options > Advanced. Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching
shortcuts"

If no joy, hold the SHIFT key when clicking clicking on a link.
 
Yes from previous posts.

Subject: I have a very annoying problem. I'm not sure how to explain it.
Here's an example of the problem.
Say I'm reading some news article, I open up a new web page to go to a
different site, when the new page gets down loading it switches me from my
current page to the new page I opened.
So it is not going over the existing page, but switching to the newly opened
page. This is very annoying when I have multiple sites, or a site that
refresh every so often and I'm reading an article.

Solution: I had the same problem after installing iMesh. Even after the
removal of it, that irritating behavior was still persistent. Upon doing a
dump of all dlls in use, I found that there was a DLL called VX2.dll which
was like a defunct process, not being used at all, so all I did was:
regsvr32 /u VX2.dll

Subject: When I launch an instance of IE6, it seems to launch the next
instance of the window, but then it closes it and launches the new one over
the existing one. Thus, I can't have multiple instances of I.E. running.
Very frustrating.

Solution: Yahoo Companion.
I uninstalled it and I'm now able to open new windows (Ctrl-N or
File/new/window)
