"Open In New Window"

[apple_pi]

About a month ago internet explorer began to do something
really annoying. when i click on a link in a window i
want to keep open and go - open in new window- it does
open in a new, smaller window on top of my old window, but
i have to minimize the new window to go back to the old
one ( i can't just click on the old one in the background
and have it pop to the front). i remember this computer
doing this to me a year ago as well, but at the time it
had several other problems and i wiped it clean and
started fresh and the problem fixed itself.

does anyone know how to prevent the new window from
being "always on top"

thanks in advance

1. Check if a program running in the background is interfering with Internet
Explorer. Temporarily disable all Norton programs, including anti-virus, win
doctor, recycle bin protect, and clean sweep. Disable any firewall or
ad-blocker.

2. Perform a repair of Internet Explorer. From Control Panel select
Add/Remove Programs. Scroll down to Microsoft Internet Explorer and
highlight it. Click on the Add/Remove button. When the IE Tools menu comes
up, select Repair. Click OK.

3. If repairing does not work, uninstall and reinstall IE. At the same IE
Tools menu, select "Restore the previous Windows configuration". Then
reinstall Internet Explore.

You can also access the IE Toolbar by clicking Start > Run and type
