I have a W2000 that will not open a 2nd window or a 2nd instance of IE. The other day it was fine. Now when you open another IE it overlays the 1st page. I changed the settings to "open wondow in new process...." but it did not work.

"I read somewhere that this problem could be caused by toolbars I'd installed (such as yahoo toolbar or aol toolbar). Well I tried uninstalling them but that didn't work... apparently there was still some "leftovers" of these toolbars even after the uninstall. So then I was on a search to find out how to completely remove the toolbars effectively.

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.
