Opening a new window

[Guest]

I can't seem to open a new window on internet explorer, when I click on a
hyperlink it just opens in that page. Can anyone help?

Go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced.
Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts".

Also, if you have Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, a firewall,
Earthlink (or another pop-up blocker) My IE2 (a shell for IE) etc.
Yahoo Companion is a very common cause.

You'll have to turn off the feature that's blocking new windows or, perhaps,
uninstall the program (especially uninstall Yahoo Companion).

With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.

If you're *sure* that another program isn't causing this, these links may
help.

I tried all the suggestions that everyone is giving, but didn't have Yahoo
Companion listed in the programs in the 'add or remove programs' section. I
noticed one suggestion that mentioned shutting down 'add-ons' and remembered
that I have in 'tools' an option to manage add-ons. Guess what I found
there? Yup. Yahoo Companion. Just clicked the option to 'disable' and
everything is back to normal. Hope this helps.

I was haveing the same problem and had tried all of the suggestions offered
but was still having problems. I did not have Yahoo Companion listed in my
'add or remove programs' options so could not uninstall what I couldn't see.
One other suggestion mentioned was to shut down or uninstall add-ons. I
looked uder 'tools' and realized I have an option to 'manage add-ons'. Guess
what was listed in the add-ons. Yup....Yahoo Companion. I just clicked
disable and everything is back to normal. Hope this helps.
