IE browser problem..can't multitask!!! Nooo!!

[Daevion]

IE, for whatever reason has decided to only allow me to use one instance of the browser, meaning I can't open a new window of IE. I know there's a setting to fix this somewhere but I can't remember what it or where it is....I already looked but maybe its too early and I'm missing something. Usinig CTR-N to open a new window doesn't work...it only seems to allow me to have one IE browser open...other folders and progs work fine, its just IE that does this.

Im using WIN2000 and I'm on a network....Im pretty limited on what I can do at the work computer, meaning I cant install any programs....so saying screw IE and going firefox isn't an option at work.

This really sucks since I usually have anywhere from 4 - 6 IE browser windows open at any one time.

Too late for Daevion, but this may help others:

Close other programs 'cause if the computer has low memory it could just be chugging away at the swap file. Also, cycling the power usually fixes Windows problems.

IE-7 is supposed to have tabbed browsing. So screw multiple windows. However I doubt you'd be allowed to upgrade (and fix the security holes by doing so).
