Hi all

I have IE 7 on my xp pro pc. I'm used to right-click on a link and then use
the "open in a New Window" option. My problem is say for example i have IE 7
open with 5 tabs in a window and i have a second window also open and i
close the second window meaning the first one with the 5 tabs must obviously
stay open then i get the message of "...the program has encountered a error
and needs to close.." then all my IE 7 windows closes which is obviously
very frustrating as i work with multiple internet windows at a time. Should
i go back to IE 6 or is there a fix for this?

Hi,
You may have an incompatible browser add-on.
See: http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/troubleshoot.asp
for troubleshooting information.

The troublesome program may not show up as an add-on. Disable other
security, privacy, ad-blocking, appearance tweaking programs to see if one
of them is causing the problem. Any program that interacts with Internet
Explorer could be causing this. The connection with IE may not be obvious,
such as Google Desktop.

A firewall will probably not be causing this problem, but be sure to turn on
the Windows Firewall from Control Panel> Windows Firewall before disabling a
third-party firewall or security suite during testing.

Hope this helps,

Great. Thanks for the update. If you found Yahoo Messenger to be useful you
may be able to reinstall it, but don't allow the Yahoo toolbar to install.
Or allow the toolbar to install but disable it from IE> Tools> Manage
add-ons.
