Why can't I open more than one window in IE , have run virtus checks and malware checks but still no joy!

What version of IE?

[Simon D.]

Windows XP ie 8

[squarebear]

Is it opening new tabs or do you mean a new instance of IE?

[ChuckFickens]

OK, and what happens when you try and run a second instance of IE8??

[Simon D.]

If I try to open a new window, the new window box flashes as if it is about to appear then disapears! Also can't open Windows Update!!...even on its own.

Haven't tried opening up IE again, at work at present so will have to try tonight at home.
