Can't open 2nd window

[Guest]

For some time I cannot open a "second window" when clicking on a link with IE 6.0 . Pop-up blocker is disabled. Tried reinstalling EI 6.0 but as soon as the existing IE is deteced the installtion program quits, since "IE 6.0 is already installed"... Very frustrating, can't use any site that has a sub-window.
Help is much appreciated

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

Are you sure that you don't 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:
