Another Explorer Problem...
I'm starting to get tired of this. Okay! I've run adaware, spybot norton blah blah blah but nothing has helped. This just started happening 2 days ago, on my mom's computer. Everytime I open a new window in Internet Explorer, the one I already had open closes...so I can't have 2 windows open at once. I've reset the explorer options/preferences, whatever. Nothing's solved the problem. Any ideas?

Hi mattferrera
It would do no harm to try the following: -
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=318378
NB Any IE Windows Critical Updates, Service Packs, etcetera, will need to be reinstalled.
Good luck...

LOL. 
Just out of interest, when you have one window open in IE, click File > New > Window and see what happens.

Am I glad you said that, Jazz. (File>New>Window) I'm still learning and that is a very helpful tip. No more getting lost when using the Back button! Thanks.

A lot of users agree with you on that retard.
I am, sadly, still an IE man, although I have dl Mozilla Firefox in case of contingencies.
But there again, I do not get pop-ups, thankfully.
Take care dude.......

Jazz: File>New>Window in IE does the same thing; closes the window I already had open, then opens the new one.

The only thing I can suggest mattferrera, is to carry on using Mozilla Firefox 0.8.

umm. i just thought of this but, if you got to control panel and open foler options, there is an option to "open each folder in its own window", does that have anything to do with that?
