Hello- I searched a little first but didn't see this problem, so I was hoping for some advice.
I did see this http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread782.html, but since I am not sure it is the same problem, I am hesitent to try some of these instructions....
For some reason, all of a sudden I can't open new windows in IE.
I usually keep 3 or 4 windows open in IE, and I turned my back and all of a sudden, I am down to one. Not sure what I did, or what happened, but now when I select File | New Window it appears like it is opening one, then it just replaces the one I have open.
If I select a link and right click to 'open in new window', it opens the link in this window, or 'replaces' the page I am currently in...
I rebooted, didn't fix.... what did I do? The only thing I did in the last 20 minutes was set up a new Yahoo ID... and got a cup of coffee.
I am on XP on that computer, and IE 6.02800
Any ideas? Thanks!
