Hi,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."
And... you may have a toolbar or program running which is blocking
pop-up windows- something like Yahoo toolbar, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar,
etc.
The Yahoo toolbar is a very common cause. Uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar
should allow a second window to open.
If you're sure that another program isn't causing this, these links should
help.

When I try to open up a second IE Browser it shuts my first browser off. It
never did this before. What could be the problem? I downloaded all of my
security updates, window updates and necessary downloads. I even did a PC
scan and fixed registry key problems.
Thank you
