IE suddenly closes

[Guest]

Last week before downloading a Service Pack (I think), I could have several
IE windows open. I use Outlook Web Access at home to access email from work,
and several windows do need to be open at once.

Now, when I OPEN an attachment, IE completely closes, allows the attachment
to open, but kicks me off the network. Once the attachment is open and read,
there is nowhere to go.

How do I get several windows to open at the same time again?

Hi,
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. Disabling the pop-up blocker may
allow a second window to open. Or you may have to uninstall the toolbar.

I can't verify, but have seen it posted that disabling nwiz.exe (part of
NVIDEA video drivers) via MSCONFIG> Startup allowed a second window to open
properly.

Thank you. Unfortunately, that resolution did not solve the problem. I
downloaded IE 7 Beta 2 and now I can get several IE windows open at the same
time. Thanks for responding......
