Hi! I've been USING IE for many years and have come across a problem I can't seem to fix. I just got a new computer and when I use IE, I can't open a new window. All that happens is my open window refreshes. I have looked all over the settings and options and can't see anything obvious. I've tried turning on/off the pop-up blocker and that doesn't change anything.

Thanks for any help!If you right click a link and select "Open in new window" from the context menu, what happens?
Disabling popup blockers and extra toolbars often isn't enough - They need to be uninstalled.Oddly enough, that option doesn't appear when I right click on the link.I'm sorry, I misunderstood.... When I right-click and "Open in new window" it opens the new link in a new window, but appears to close the previous window.What toolbars and popup blockers are installed?
What firewall do you use?Toolbars -standard buttons, address bar, links. No pop-up blockers. Zone Alarm-firewall.No Google, AIM or Yahoo etc toolbars installed?Google installed, but not activeFirst of all, uninstall the Google toolbar, rest IE to it's defaults and retry.
If that doesn't work, try [HIGHLIGHT]IEFix[/highlight].That was it! I DISABLED the Google toolbar helper and viola! Thanks so much for your help!These toolbars CAUSE FAR more problems than they're worth.
