IE window problem

[crazymish]

Hi...
I have a windows 2000 professional OS and I am running IE 5.5....lately I have been seeing that when I open a browser window and am browsing on that particular window for some time...automatically after some time another browser window opens up and says that cannot find server and after some time another opens up with the same message and this continues after some time like some chain reaction.....how do I get rid of this hitch...an answer will be appreciated....

On the desktop,go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel, then Add/remove programs.

Once there, go to your version of IE and then "Add/remove."

Choose the Repair IE ....... You will then be prompted to reboot

When it starts this, does the title bar at the top or the address bar at the bottom give any indication as to what site it is trying to connect to?

hi there.....
I had posted up a problem here....with regards to my IE browser v5.5 running on windows 2000.....whenever I open a window, after about 30 secs it opens up another window automatically and tries to find the same page which I had opened up or some related page and it happens with each and every window that I open....
somebody had suggested to go to the add/remove programs of the control panel settings and repair IE....well I did that and it did not work....so any more suggestions please....I would be grateful....

Hi crazymish...

If this is found to be a stupid question sorry. But I have to ask...

Are you opening your IE browser by using the taskbar at the bottom of your desktop? And if so are you double clicking said icon?

The reason why I'm asking is that you only need to click the taskbar icon once to get activation of any program you need to run. As a test I double clicked my IE taskbar icon and two windows opened.

If this is not the case... sorry for this post. But sometimes the problem is less complex than you would think.

Good luck

I do double click but the icon is on the desktop although I do have an icon in the task bar that I should add....what do u have to say to that.....

it is trying to connect to the same site as I had opened the current window....for e.g. if I open hotmail then it tries to find hotmail's index page....or something related to hotmail.....
