Ok here's what's going on...every time I click on something it opens in a new window. I used to think that would be a nice feature to have while mylotting...I could go to a list, click on all the discussions I wanted to respond to, and then get to each one without having to flip back and forth.
But what my computer is doing is absolutely crazy...I click on my link going to my e-mail and get a new window, I click on that page to go to my inbox and it comes up in a new window, I click on an e-mail I want to read and it comes up in a new window, then in the case of mylot messages I get another new window to get here. Then when I decide to go to a different interest it comes up in a new window and then when I click on a discussion that comes up in a new window too!
I have no idea why this is happening but it's driving me nuts to have new windows popping up all over the place everytime I click on something. I tried checking on myspace and it did the same thing...I ended up with 4 myspace pages open just because I read a friend's bulletin and naigated back to my page like normal. I don't even want to attempt ebay right now...
Any idea what is going on or how I can fix it?

I get that sometimes with my email and it disappears after I re-start my PC. Try that.
I know after the last windows up date I had that issue and my husband thought it was funny. He uninstalled the update somehow.

I don't think I had any recent updates...it was fine one minute and started doing that the next. It quit on it's own shortly after I started this discussion. It was a little amusing at first but got annoying real fast!

Are you using Firefox or IE? My IE opens up in windows and my Firefox opens in new tabs..

your computer sounds to have infected a virus or something... i am a techical person... so i don't really know how to help you to fix your computer... all i can say is scan your computer for viruses and defrag your computer after that... the worst case scenario is you have to uninstall your browser and install it again... best of luck and i hope you can fix your computer soon... take care and have a nice day...

It depends on what browser you're using. If you use Internet Explorer, just go to tools, internet options, and one of those tabs in there will ask how you want to open links and pop ups, either in new window, same window, or new tab.
IE is the one I use the most, so I can't help on any other browser.
BTW, I just love your avatar, it is sooo cute!
