every time I click on a link, it used to just open a new window but now it just opens a new one and closes the other. If I am on my home page and go to say NFL.com, then press CTRL N for a new window, it goes back to my homepage, but closes my NFL.com page. So no matter what I try I cannot open more than one internet explorer window. No they are not stacked on each other, there is only one. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank YOu!
