Explorer can't open new windows

[Guest]

All of a sudden today my Internet Explorer will not open new windows. I tried 2 other browsers and they work fine. For example even this window in which I am typing this question would not open with IE6, so I had to use Opera. Any Ideas? thank yo

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

And... you probably 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:
