Okay so heres my problem! When i go to open windows internet explorer IF there is NO pop ups then it will open up fine and all.....however when i go to open up a second window like when u go to file open new window...it closes the first window.

I saw a solution on another site, so I'm copying and pasting... I realize this post is old, but maybe it can help someone else w/ the same problem:

"I read somewhere that this problem could be caused by toolbars I'd installed (such as yahoo toolbar or aol toolbar). Well I tried uninstalling them but that didn't work... apparently there was still some "leftovers" of these toolbars even after the uninstall. So then I was on a search to find out how to completely remove the toolbars effectively.

I came across a site ( http://www.mrtech.com/cgi-local/msgb...=11&t=164;st=0) that had a tool for completely removing the toolbars:

I did it and now I can have muliple IE windows open again!"
