Just Downloaded IE 7 - running on Windows XP with #2 productivity Pack.

When I have multiple windows open and go to close one it shuts down all the
windows - thus taking me off the internet. I have tried the "tabs" feature -
but it doesn't work for everything (lots of sites just open the window for
you). It is driving me nuts.

I am guessing this is either a simple fix (something I am missing) or a
terrible design flaw. Does anyone have any suggestions or helps?

Thanks.

To determine if your problem is caused by a third-party add-on, start IE
7 with no add-ons. If the problem no longer occurs, one (or more)
add-ons was causing the problem.

All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)

To determine if your problem is caused by incorrect configuration
settings, reset IE 7 to its original configuration. If the problem no
longer occurs, one (or more) incorrect configuration settings was
causing the problem.

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > under Reset Internet Explorer
Settings, click Reset.

Note: If you want to continue to use any of your add-ons after a reset,
you'll have to reinstall them.

Most third party security applications (security suites, anti-virus
programs, anti-spyware programs, firewalls, ad-blockers, etc.) interact
with Internet Explorer to protect your computer from malicious software.
Check the settings in your security software to see if this is happening
to you.

Problems with IE 7 can also be caused by the presence of viruses or
other malicious software.
