When I have one window open in Internet Explorer and I open a new one or or
when I click on a link that opens a new window it closes the previous one. In
short
I can only have one window open at a time. Is this a setting I have? I tried
restoring all the settings to the default IE settings but it did not help.
Thank You
 
Hi,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

And... you may have a toolbar or program running which is blocking
pop-up windows- something like Yahoo toolbar, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar,
etc.
The Yahoo toolbar is a very common cause. Uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar
should allow a second window to open.

If you're sure that another program isn't causing this, these links should
help.
