IE 8 closing all tabs not single tab

by dcasu87 . Updated 15 years, 11 months ago

I am running Windows 7 and IE8. I believe my verison of IE8 has corrupted but I’m not sure how to fix it.

When I open multiple tabs in IE8 and try to close just one tab, by clicking on the X of a single tab, IE8, whether I have 4 tabs open or 10, closes ALL THE TABS. I also run Firefox and am able to open multiple tabs and close only single tabs, however, there are multiple places where Firefox just doesn’t work properly, so that I’m forced to run both.

I’ve tried to reinstall IE 8, but because I think because it’s so tied into Windows 7 I don’t think that’s really possible as even when I get rid of IE 8, it seems to automatically pick up the previous settings and I end up with the same problems.

I have been looking all over the net on this one and haven’t found anyone else who is having this problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
