Can't open a second window

[Guest]

If I'm in a window and want to open a second window, I would click File | New
| Window. Unfortunately, the first window closes and the new window opens -
showing the same content. I can't seem to get two windows to remain open
simultaneously.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi getravel

Try the following and see if it helps:

or....

Cannot open more windows

Start/Run/CMD.
Type this command:
REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL.
Ok/Reboot.

or...

Go to Tools>Internet Options> Advanced tab
UNcheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts"
Click Apply
Close IE and reopen then see if the problem still exists

You may 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. You'll have to uninstall the program or turn
off the feature that's blocking new windows.

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

Jan and Ramesh,

thank you so much for your suggestions. I think Ramesh may have hit the
nail on the head because I do have a program running that suppresses pop-ups.
I'm not on my PC right now, but I will check this the next opportunity I get.

Thank you once again.

getravel:

I tried the suggestions including those in article 281679 and turning off
the pop-up blocker in IE (Tools, Internet Options, Privacy, unchecked "Block
pop-ups", Apply and finally OK). Nothing worked. I guess I'll have to try to
re-install IE as a last resort.

Good luck. I'll check back in a few days if I have not figured this out to
see if you were successful.
