Hi,

Here's a list of methods that provide the workaround.

Method 1:
=========
Here's the how you reinstall/repair Internet Explorer:

For Windows 9x Sytems:

1. Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs
2. Select Internet Explorer, then Repair

For Windows XP Systems:

First, try reinstalling from the INF files.

1. Click Start -> Run
2. Type the following command
3. "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132
%windir%\inf\ie.inf"
4. When prompted for the CD, Insert the windows XP cd

This fixes most problems. If not, see below the KB Article:

Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318378

Method 2:
========
When launching new windows of Internet Explorer via an Internet Shortcut, a
new process (IEXPLORE.EXE) is not created. The new window retains the same
session information as the previously opened window.

The Reuse windows for launching shortcuts setting is used to determine
whether a new or existing instance of Internet Explorer is used when
exploring a Web site using one of the following methods

1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Click Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab
3. Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts"
4. Close Internet Explorer

Also check the Registry setting

Selecting the Reuse windows for launching shortcuts setting sets the
following value in the registry to 1:
Key Name: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Value Name: AllowWindowReuse

Method 3:
=========

Please check the KB article "You Cannot Open New Internet Explorer Window
or Nothing Happens After You Click a Link" at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=281679

Method 4:
=========

Uninstall Yahoo Companion

Method 5:
=========

Note that these restrictions also apply when you are using Kiosk mode.
=====================================================
Restrictions under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions: Each DWORD value must be set to 1 to be enabled. To
disable the restriction, set the value to 0.

Restriction Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------
NoFileNew Disables CTRL+N

Method 6:
==========

If all fails check for parasites. IE 6.

Try this:
1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Select Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
3. Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

Method 7:
=========
If the problem still persists, I would like you to look at this website to
