1 WEB PAGE AT A TIME IS ACTIVE...

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

What is the problem? I am able to open 1 page at a time, automatically
closing the previously opened one, even when I click Internet explorer
repeatedly! In the past I WAS ABLE to open an unlimited number of pages at a
time, not closing the previous ones.... but now once I open a second page the
first page automatically closes. Can someone please help/advise?

Open IE, click tools, options, advanced, UNtick the option to re-use windows
for launching shortcuts.

Go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced.
Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts".

Also, 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.
