IE wont open the new window on pressing <ctl> <n>

[Arun]

I have recently installled my computer and have got
Windows XP Home Sp1 and IE v 6.0.2800
I am unable to open more than one window of IE at any
time irrespective of whether I click 'IE' icon twice/
multiple times, or press <ctl> <N> or by clicking a
hyperlink in browser / mail. The new window that comes up
automatically closes the active current window. Pl.
sugggest solution.

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

And... you 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
