opening additional windows with explorer

[Michael]

Until recently, I've been able to open several windows
using internet explorer.

Now when i open a second window, the other shuts
down..anyone else experiencing this?

Just to be clear if i am on my home page and open another
the home page automatically closes.

Yes, I have been having the same trouble. I am running
IE 6.0 on Windows XP PRO. I just got this PC & thought
maybe the unit itself had this problem. Unfortunately I
haven't found a solution. If I do I will let you know.
Good Luck!

Hi,
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.

If you're *certain* that another program is not causing this, these links
may
help:

Hey Michael,
Don was right. I found that someone had loaded Yahoo
Companion on my PC. I removed it & I'm livin' large!
