Unable to open multiple IE window / browser after installing Yahoo

[Guest]

Only one Internet Explorer (version 6) window can open at any time. IF I
click to open a new window, it will only refresh and replace the first window
that's being displayed. Basically, I can't open more than one Internet
Explorer windows. Have tried to do the Run: Shell32.dll, urlmon.dll,
shdocvw.dll, and all that. Restarted. No change.
Any help please? I'm desperate here.

I am having the same problem. Basically, I can only have one IE browser
window open at a time. If I right click on a link and choose "Open In New
Window" The new link opens in a new window but the old window is
automatically closed. I am running IE 6 (I have checked for updates and I am
using the latest update) on Windows XP Home addition. I have had SBC Yahoo
installed for several months with no problems. The only thing I have changed
recently is the addition of MS Activesync software.

Thanks

Hi,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

And... you probably have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like 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.

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.
