Subject: IE Explorer

When I open IE Explorer it won't let me open any other windows. I try to open up a new one - either by clicking on the icon or Ctrl+N and a new one appears and the old box just disappears.
Any idea what the heck is going on here? |

question #1: why are you still using IE? :)

Didn't work...
I also checked and unchecked the "group similar items" thing on the taskbar - even though it wasn't grouping them anyhow... but, just a shot in the dark, but that didn't work either.

Under Internet Options, Security, make sure you have "Navigate sub-frames across different domains" enabled.
Make sure you aren't running any special pop-up blocker software that could be causing triuble.

I just went through Windows "search for updates" and what pops up? Internet Explorer 7.0
Looks like it was telling me to do that. Hopefully this works.

Yeah, I was going to ask if you'd done a Windows Update as well. If not, might as well get your whole tuneup at once.

Interesting, they've gone to a tab system ala netscape. Not sure if I like that.
Anyway, thanks for the help, all fixed. And updated.

Alright, part 2 of this question is now... anyone know how to take the tab system off and have it let me open multiple new windows.
I prefer to have 5-6 boxes across the bottom and skip between them. Doesn't seem to let me want to open more than one even when I turn off Tabs in the Internet Options.

You can still open up new windows with CTL N. Does that help?

Nope, I do that, and then the old one disappears. This sucks.

Are you sure they aren't just stacking? For example, when I'm in IE and I CTL N, the bottom menu which includes the IE rectagle has a 2 appear, indicating the number of windows of that program is now 2.
No?

I know what you mean - the taskbar has "group similar items" option - then all IE is in the one box and you can skip between windows.
It is not that, when I try and open a new one or do Ctrl+N - the other box completely disappears. I think its forcing me to use the tab system essentially. Hell I even clicked on a boxscore from within my teams Yahoo page - and we know that usually opens up a new window. Well its doing it - and then the page with my team on it disappears.

Looks like I am gonna have to get used to the Tab System. I stopped using Netscape because of it in the first place. Oh well.

I use a combo of firefox and ie, depending on what I am working on. It's taken a little patience to get used to the tabs, but you will.....maybe......eventually.....someday.....hopefully...

I use Firefox and love the tabs, can't live without them.
But mainly I wanted to say that if you switch to Firefox, you will also be able to avoid the tabs altogether, as it has an option to use new windows when browsing.
