OK, I’m back. We fixed it. Went into IE, Internet options, Tabs, Tabbed browser settings. Clicked “open links from another program in a new window”, then clicked OK. Now I can keep several programs and sites open simultaneously.
Note: I’ve used the Internet Options window before, but I had been going there via the Control Panel. I missed a post last night where Netjan had asked me about that.
Computer friend was in a hurry so we didn’t do the screen picture. But, he said I should have no problem with doing that, so later I’m gonna try. It’s just another good thing to know. My computer, printer, etc. are just 6 wks old and even though I’ve been using computers and the Internet for a long time, I’m still a little afraid to mess something up. I bought a 22” flat screen monitor – a real beauty. I also have a visual impairment, and when Computer friend set my equipment up we made some adjustments to make things easier for me to see.
Anyway, thanks everyone. Sorry if I sounded frustrated; sometimes online communications come across differently than one intends them to. I’ll keep this board in my favs and come again when I need help OR just to read threads and learn things, and earlier today I recommend this site to a friend. The tenacity of the experts is impressive. heh heh
Have a good day.
