Hi Jason
Right after downloading the latest macromedia flash
update and installing I cannot open more than one IE
window. Everytime I try it closes the current window and
opens a new one. This happens no matter how I try to
open other instance of IE, either by clicking on the
quicklaunch icon, file > new window, right clicking on a
link and choosing open a new window. I have uninstalled
the flash application and then uninstalled and
reinstalled IE with several restarts to no avail.
Try the following and see it if helps:
Open Multiple Windows In IE
To keep more than one browser window open at a time, click File in the main
menu, select New, then Window. To close a browser window, click the X in the
top right-hand corner or select Close from the File menu. You can also open
a new browser window with Ctrl+N.

You may 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. You'll have to uninstall the program or turn
off the feature that's blocking new windows.
With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.

Flash & Shockwave not working
A few of things could contribute to the problem. Have you checked your
firewall to see if the ad-blocker or Flash blocker is set to on or block?
Also, there are several Pop-up blockers that will block Flash unless you
turn it off. I had POP-UP Blocker and it would not open Flash at all, and
it took me a while to figure out what was doing it When I unchecked the
Kill Flash it stopped. Some Flash has pop-ups and the blockers will see
them as ads or and kill it any way.
Also, if you have SpywareBlaster installed, be sure you have Kill Flash
unchecked - Open SpywareBlaster - Tools - Click on Flash Killer then uncheck
"Switch off Flash Player" or in v3.1 Disable and block Macromedia Flash (4X
5X & 6X) in Internet Explorer.
or..........................
Remove Flash, including all registry entries for it. Reboot then go to
Macromedia's site. Since it is Flash based you should get the dialog to
install Flash. Use the removal information at their site here:

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.
Hope this helps
