only 1 ie6 window
Now it would seem I'm an involuntary beta tester for M$.
I noticed this the other day after installing an update [prior to releaseof ie7]. When opening links that require a new page, it looks like it closesthe open window, and opens a new window with the new document. for those that know html opening a link using '_blank' causes a new window with the links content. In this case it closes the window with the link, and opens the link in the same window. In an effort to let it fix itself [it seems it's going to get worse], I hit CTRL - N for new window. That failed. same as above only one window now. I also hit the ie6 on the desktop for a new window. That also failed. It closed the one open, and redirected to my home link. I've already checked the tools-internet options-advanced- reuse windows for launching shortcuts. I have that box un ticked. Any ideas on what's gone wrong or how to fix it ? I like plenty of IE windows open. I read faster than the connection. -- more pix @ http://members.toast.net/cbminfo/index.html |

kb912945, kb912475, and kb904942.
Internet Explorer ActiveX update http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];912945 Australian daylight saving time 2006 update for environments that do not use Exchange Server http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];912475 Authentication fails when you use Outlook or Outlook Express to try to log on to a HTTP-based mail server if you use Internet Explorer version 7.0 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];904942 Do you think that you need 912475? Moving to Australia? You might want to read about all three updates. Especially 912945, see Known issues. Uninstall any or all three updates reboot and see it that fixes things. Also... Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan. Update whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full system scan with each one. -- Hope this helps. Let us know.

Hi,
The Yahoo toolbar could have been causing this. Here's my standard spiel: You may have a toolbar or program running which is blocking pop-up windows- something like Yahoo toolbar, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, etc. The Yahoo toolbar is a very common cause. Uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar should allow a second window to open. 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://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers/26.html http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers/27.html Hope this helps, Don [MS MVP- IE] "Husky" cbminfo[at]bellsouth.net wrote in message ...

Hi, The Yahoo toolbar could have been causing this. actually there was a remnant, now you see it, now you don't yahoo toolbar. I removed it when it 1st got installed. Obviously the removal process isn't infallible. checked the toolbars installed, no yahoo there. Or google or anything else. checked the add/remove section, nothing there. fired up the winstall cleanup, it couldn't see anything yahoo or anythingout of the ordinary. went back to add/remove and there was the yahoo toolbar, but it didn't have a remove thing. back to the winstall, no yahoo.. back to add/remove now it has a remove button. ran that, and had no effect. other than removing it from the add/remove section. everything else was still trashed. I figured a week or two back I was going to take that advice on my next OS re-install and have a small system partition for instant restores. Hadto make a 30 gig. the 10 gig disappeared almost instantly. Now just need something that can back up my 30 gigs to the other drive ona semi weekly basis. -- more pix @ http://members.toast.net/cbminfo/index.html |
