internet explorer problem

[Guest]

something weird is happening to my ie. whenever i try to open a new window it
keeps on closing the old one. so i always have only 1 ie window open at a
time. this happens regardless if i click on a link or a new ie window by
clicking the ie logo.

i did not change any settings on it. is this a adware infection? how do i
fix this?

Hi berbard,

The current focus of the IE... can be set from

Tools-->> internet options
then click the Advanced tab...

In the browsing section there is an option

" reuse windows for launching shortcuts... "


its between..

notify when download completes and
show friendly http error messages...

Hope this helps

thanks for the suggestion, i tried both unchecked and checked but it did not
fix my problem.

any other ideas?

Have you tried this?
Tools-Internet Options-Advanced.
Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts"

If that is not the problem, then perhaps it is a toolbar you have
added?
Try removing extra toolbars, in particular, the Yahoo toolbar.

If the above doesn't help, please post to an IE group and mention you
are using XP.
