IE 6 with XP.

[Guest]

I am however able to open a new IE window. However the one that I WAS using
closes. Only allowing me to have only ONE IE window open at a time. I dont
know why or how? I have IE 6 and no added tool bar clutter of any kind.(ie
yahoo tool bar) I have all my programs upto date. I do have however McAfee
security center system. No I have not deleted it and seen if this is the
problem. I know its not. This problem started long after I installed it.
Any Ideas?

Hi,
If you're sure that a pop-up blocker of some type isn't causing this, work
through these pages:

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.
