Pop up in new window closes automatically

[Guest]

I have disabled the window pop up blocker in IE 6 but each link that I click
and which open a new window, closes automatically. I have also disabled
"Reuse Windows for launching shortcuts" in Internet Options.
What should I try?

I have disabled the window pop up blocker in IE 6 but each link that I
click
and which open a new window, closes automatically. I have also disabled
"Reuse Windows for launching shortcuts" in Internet Options.
What should I try?

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.
