Hi ,go to tools ,intertnet options ,advanced ,in the list somewere you will see reuse window when opening new page , uncheck it so that it opens a new window .

I did tht and it still closes the other window when i open a new one, anymore ideas? thnx

nope! sorry

hey, here's the word. I pray you have yahoo, because i did. There are some other options, that i didn't select to install, but apparently yahoo installed anyways. you can uninstall/remove/delete anything and everything that says yahoo, except for messenger listing, and restart, and you will be back to normal. I didn't have this problem occur right away after yahoo, it seemed to just mutate its way there. then i was getting mad because i like using ie, and many people stand by mozilla, its just something else i really don't have room for atm. i found this answer, to be the only one, and am glad, now i can have multiple windows and read my docs again, thanks to that poster, carterhamilton: http://bink.nu/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=5684 and true, you can use the option to reuse ie windows, but i did have that selected and it didn't work still with them options from yahoo installed, now everything is fine, spread the word, let others now, this was a hassle and a whole day brain teaser, it really shouldn't be this way, at least it is an easy fix instead of messing with your registery and other settings.

I'm having the same problem....did you ever find out how to fix it? HELP

yes, it was fixed, by removing some yahoo things, besides messenger from the add/remove programs list, that is the only solution that fixed my problem, which i think i posted about...

I had this happen and by deleting any yahoo bar's or yahoo related links and then reboot. That should fix it. Good Luck :cheesy:

ok, well, that is what i have stated before.....not to be prude, heh, just for the record....

I found that uninstalling my Yahoo bar did the trick...good luck...
