unable to have more than one window at a time

[Chris]

When I right click on a link and pick open in new window
the previous window automaticly closes.. not sure what is
going on. Any Ideas?

Thanks

Chris,
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, Earthlink pop-up blocker,
etc.
With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.

Can this be the issue?

From: "michel guimond" submitted in a news group.
Subject: When I launch an instance of IE6, it seems to launch the next
instance of the window, but then it closes it and launches the new one over
the existing one. Thus, I can't have multiple instances of I.E. running.
Very frustrating.

Solution: Yahoo Companion.
I uninstalled it and I'm now able to open new windows (Ctrl-N or
File/new/window)

I tried what you suggested.. I even uninstalled and
reinsatlled but still no good. I can still only have one
Internet explorer window open at a time.
