New windows whilst searching the internet
I currently have Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2. When recently I
have noticed that when I click to create a new window whilst browsing the internet, the system overwrites the window I had previously opened. In short I cannot create a new additional window whilst browsing. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? |

If you are talking about the fact that: While browsing in Internet Explorer,
and trying to open a NEW Internet Explorer window, the running window gets refreshed to the homepage, and a new window doesn't appear. If so, then simply minimize the open window, and launch the new Internet Explorer page. If not, then please post back, as I didn't fully understand the question. -- Have a great day! -Tony Norman "Len" wrote in message ... I currently have Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2.

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, 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. http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/IEFAQ.htm Tips #21 & 46 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679 http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/ans...htm#hyperlinks http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers.htm#new_window Don [MS MVP- IE/OE] "Len" wrote in message ...

I asked similar question probably in wrong group. I want to have multiple
applications on screen concurrently. IE look at video while working with another application like Outlook or Word. When I open a new application, the previous one is minimized. What am I doing wrong?
