The last few days I have only been able to open one browser screen. I’ve rebooted several times.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I get a quick hourglass next to the pointer, and then nothing. The current browser works, but I can only navigate in the one browser.
If there is a link that is supposed to open in a new window, it will not open. I have to copy and paste the link in the address bar if I want to view the linked page.
FYI:
I was playing around the other day trying to view multiple IE windows and had reduced them to a smaller size so I could view them all at once.
After closing them, of course, next time IE had remembered their size and opened up a new window the size of a pop-up and up came PopUpKiller….
