I just started having a problem with IE 6 that I can't figure out. Before
when I had an IE window open, clicked on something that opened a new browser
window, the original window would stay open too. Now as soon as the new
window opens, the original window closes.

Any suggestions?

Hi,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

And... you may have a toolbar or program running which is blocking
pop-up windows- something like Yahoo toolbar, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar,
etc.
The Yahoo toolbar is a very common cause. Uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar
should allow a second window to open.

If you're sure that another program isn't causing this, these links should
help.

I posted here earlier that I had fixed it. Someone else suggested Yahoo
Companion and that was the culprit.
