"I read somewhere that this problem could be caused by toolbars I'd installed (such as yahoo toolbar or aol toolbar).

I came across a site ( http://www.mrtech.com/cgi-local/msgb...=11&t=164;st=0) that had a tool for completely removing the toolbars:

I did it and now I can have muliple IE windows open again!"
It was Yahoo companion for me.
