IE6 (XP-SP2) - Unable to open new IE window

MARCVTEC2000 · 01-05-2005, 01:40 PM

A friend of mine has a problem in IE6. If he wants to open another IE window, it closes the original one. His system is virus clean, latest definitions, pop-up blocker, Ad-aware'd and Pest Patrolled. Any hints? Thanks

See if this helps:

If in XP and Internet Explorer, click on tools Internet Options, Advanced, uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts", click OK, close all open Internet Explorer windows. Then open a browser session and see if it works.
