This is my problem.
My Internet explorer does not want to open a second ore more windows. It repeats by giving the message; this program has preformed an illegal action, and Internet explorer has preformed an illegal action and will be shut down.

I have reinstalled explorer after I removed it completely from windows, I have also reinstalled Windows.
I am using windows 98se and upgraded to explorer 5.5
I do use a kick program to close any unwanted popup windows. POW is its name, I also stopped it but the problem persists.

Are there any suggestions??
Thanks
Melt

Maybe something in the taskbar that maybe clashing with Explorer?

Close absolutely EVERYTHING before you try opening multiple explorer windows...

Good luck.
