I have win98 and I using Internet Explorer to see webpages. I have Norton Antivirus 2002 with automatic updates. Everything has working fine long time, but I started get errors with IE (5) I coudnt open new window if I click icon. Earlier only way to get browser working, was with Yahoo, if I had new mail. Then I could use ctrl+N to open other window. Later I coudnt open any IE windows, even if i had new mail.

I defragmented my harddrive, I installed Windows over and updated IE to version 6.0, that didnt help. Now IE starting, but never receive any websites. Only Netscape 4.7 works, it shows websites, but many times if you have a link in your mail or website it also doesnt open new window. But I can open new window with ctrl+N. I tried install Mozilla and Opera....both cant connect to any websites. I have no chanced any hardware. I using Access-4-free internet connection and sometimes Aol. Aol connects ok, and shows websites in their browser. If I try to read Aol webmail , I can list about my emails, but because it doesnt open new window, I cant read any mail.

Before I format harddrive and installing win98 again, what I guess fix everything, I wanna hear if I can try something else. Any ideas?
 
In Internet Options - Advanced, UNcheck the 'Reuse windows for launching shortcuts'.
