For some reason, I can now only open one browser window
at a time. When I open a new window it instantly closes
the one that is open. Any ideas to help??

Thanks
 
Bryan,
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.

Gentle People,

Muoy Tanks for the info: removal of the bastard program 'Yahoo
Companion' allowed me to open more than one IE window at a time.

The question is, how did this Yahoo Companion get on my machine?.....I
sure didn't load it, and I check my system with Spybot at least once a week.

The problem only started when I installed Windows XP SP2....

I'd wager that Yahoo paid Gates and crew a hefty sum to sneak their
software onto our machines when people installed the SP2.

I have the same problem after I register an Yahoo email for my kid,
I 've just read message and I think that
It may be Yahoo's
I am going to uninstall all Yahoo out of my PC
Thank you
 
It comes with Yahoo messenger if you install it.
