Until yesterday, I could open up multiple windows in Internet Explorer. All of a sudden, when I try and open a second IE window, it simply replaces the first one.

Any idea how this can be corrected?

Using Opera or Firefox? Each has been stable for me.

I can open multiple windows using Firefox, but not using Internet Explorer.

I mean that using another browser should be your solution.

croy was trying to be subtle.

It doesn't usually work for him.

Thanks for the translation, Redish.

I appreciate your advice, croy. At the same time, given that I've never encountered this problem running IE before, I'd like to try and understand how/why it's happened.

In a nutshell - IE sucks compared to firefox.

Any time I've ever had flaky behavior in IE I've gone in and removed all BHOs (Browser Helper Objects) and deleted all temporary files.

You can see the list of BHOs installed on your computer by going to Tools -> Internet Options. On the General tab click the Settings button in the Temporary Internet Files section. Then on the next page click the View Objects button. You can right click any of the file names to remove a browser object. I typically just delete them all.

In addition to suggesting FireFox as the others have, I would suggest using tabs

I think IE supports them now and I know FF does. Nice lil things when you get used to them.

Have you used IE 7.0? Just curious. I haven't tried it yet and don't plan to for a while. New versions of MS browsers always seem to screw up a computer while opening up a whole new range of attack possibilites.

No, but a buddy of mine uses it at work, that's where I seen them - I double checked today, since that's where I'm typing this from. Then looking at MS's site, I seen that IE7 boasts tabs as a feature...

At any rate, I agree with your statement. I don't plan on using IE unless I have to. I'll eventually move into Vista, but I'll wait a year or so after it's out. On a side note, I downloaded and try the 64 bit version of Vista over the weekend and since I had FireFox on a different HD, I just tried to install it from there and it worked. So I'm not even sure what version of IE comes with the RC1 release of Vista - LOL

So my feelings is, much like AO-Hell, IE is evil

Drew --

Thanks for your suggestion. It didn't work, but I appreciated it anyway.

Croy --

I've taken your advice and set Firefox as my default browser.
Thanks.

I should have said that I found IE to do wierd things for no reason - I actually had a download problem and no diagnostic helped or found anything wrong. That's when I started using Firefox. Less frustrating.
