Hey man Dances! This is wonderful, thank you so much for your help.
For a long time I had had this problem, not being able to open a second window, and when finally today I could not open even ONE window, I looked you up here. First even with the help of the additional browser I have installed, just in case IE breaks down: Opera.
But now, after unchecking the 'third party browser extension', IE works fine just as it should! Again, thanks a lot for sharing this important time- and energy saving info.

Starting up in "Safe mode with Network support" seems to bypass this problem and IE fuctions normally. This leads me to believe that some third party program is causing the problem.
* Here is the workaround i found that worked for me. Go to Control Panel, Internet options. Next, go to Advance Tab.
Uncheck "Enable third party browser extension"
Click OK *
With Windows XP this worked right away for me, but you might have to restart computer. If you have multiple profiles setup on your computer, you will have to do this for each profile.
I also noticed that my home page had been changed to res://nshp.dll/index.html#37049
You can change this through the Control panel, Internet options as well.

Please let me know if this workaround works for any of u.
