When in IE and attempting to open a new window by
pressing CTRL+N or File...New I only get the page that I
was in to close then reopen. Any thoughts on how this
happened and how to fix. Crrently can only have one
window of IE open.

Thanks,
Jamin

And... you probably have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like Yahoo companion, Google toolbar, Earthlink pop-up blocker,
etc.
With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.

Don, tried your solution and it did not work for me. Even after rebooting.
