One window at a Time

Hi all,
For some reason I can only have one IE window open at one time, if I
click on a link the present one shows the linked page and I have no back
arrow highlighted. Even when I set my prefs in Google to open new windows it
does not happen. I have to start all over again.

Any ideas ?

Click to expand...

Is your Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Browsing\"Reuse windows for
launching shortcuts" option checked or unchecked?

Regardless, if you want a new IE window, try right-clicking the link and
then select "Open in New Window"

Post results.
 
Have just done this (unchecked the box) and it is still happening !

Things to check.

From: "Maulik" submitted in a news group.
Subject: I have a very annoying problem. I'm not sure how to explain it.
Here's an example of the problem.
Say I'm reading some news article, I open up a new web page to go to a
different site, when the new page gets down loading it switches me from my
current page to the new page I opened.
So it is not going over the existing page, but switching to the newly opened
page. This is very annoying when I have multiple sites, or a site that
refresh every so often and I'm reading an article.

Solution: I had the same problem after installing iMesh. Even after the
removal of it, that irritating behavior was still persistent. Upon doing a
dump of all dlls in use, I found that there was a DLL called VX2.dll which
was like a defunct process, not being used at all, so all I did was:
regsvr32 /u VX2.dll


From: "michel guimond" submitted in a news group.
Subject: When I launch an instance of IE6, it seems to launch the next
instance of the window, but then it closes it and launches the new one over
the existing one. Thus, I can't have multiple instances of I.E. running.
Very frustrating.

Solution: Yahoo Companion.
I uninstalled it and I'm now able to open new windows (Ctrl-N or
File/new/window)
