How do I stop 2 windows opening on links?
Every time I click on a link (on the net) my browser opens 2 pages of the same link.
Anyone know how I can stop this?
I've had a look through internet settings but can't see anything wrong. It's a new machine and done this ever since I started using it.
vista, and internet explorer beign used.

It's funny you should mentioned that James as my XP laptop started doing the same yesterday but it only happens on my favourites and not links. I was going to have a look around tonight.

Right well it's fine now...
I removed Mcafee security crap that came with it (was planned anyway) and installed my favourite (NOD32) antivirus and it's stopped this 2 pages from links thing.
Can only assume it was something to do with Mcafee's internet monitor add on for IE as it's now perfect.
I hate Mcafee and Norton, it's really worth getting something else if you're suffering either! They've got to be the biggest cause of slow running too!

Mines doing that but only with scoobynet, if you go to very first main page and click "forum", it opens up in another page, and also the control panel does the same, so annoying!
