Can't open new window & original window closes

[Debbie]

Updates were automatically installed on my computer. I'm now having a
problem with IE.

When I click on IE, it opens and all is fine but when I open a new IE
window, the original window dies or closes.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

And... you may have a toolbar or program running which is blocking
pop-up windows- something like Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar,
Ad-aware Plus, 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.

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 should
help.

I "unchecked the ReuseWindows" and still had the problem. I then uninstalled
Yahoo Companion (the last thing installed) and all works normal now.

Thanks bunches.
