Cannot open multiple windows of IE

[Guest]

I need help with my IE settings. I am not able to open multiple IE windows
when browsing the web. Whenever I open a second page it closes the first.
My ISP provider and security software manufactuer says that it is an IE
issue. I know that it is a quick fix but have looked everywhere and don't
where to change the setting. Any advise would be much appreciated!

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.
