I don't know why. When I have several IE windows open, and I want to close one of them. It automatically shots down all the other IE7 windows.
Any help please.

TLW

Does it happen when you close a window from any site or just one or two of them? Maybe its the site closing them.

Try raising the security level of your browser.

it's not any site in specific
the IE windows can be open in any site, and it still will shot down all the other IE windoes open at the moment. Regardless in which site they are.

i'd suggest getting fire fox.. Ie7 is ok but its just trying to copy something good already

are you using the x in the corner

or the tab under the tool bar

the x in the corner
i don't have problems closing the tabs

Sounds like your using tabbed browsing, it will close all the tabs when you X to close the 1 window you want, to solve the issue, open a new window that you want kept open

PS Firefox is OK but:

Known Issues with Firefox
Certain javascript sites may not display correctly
Sites that use ActiveX will not work
The 'ebrary reader' plugin does not work
Factiva (formerly Dow Jones Interactive) has display issues
Some formatting done in cascading style sheets does not display correctly
Forms may not work as expected
The Mr. Sid plugin does not work (display of .sid files in Insight and the DL)
World Biographical Index: When you click a language, it opens a new window with the frames for searching, but if you click a search type, it fails to load the search form.
Insight's Browser Version does not work
The Virtual Reference Client (Ask!Live) on the librarian side does not work.
China Database Online does not work with Firefox

Oh no! I'm switching back to IE7 right away. I can't live without the China Database Online!

ha, ha very funny carrot boy

dayv the problem is that even if i do that
it automatically closes all the IE7 windows which are open at that precisa moment

it closes all the windows, or all the tabs?

Whatever ONE window you have open, no matter how many tabs are in that ONE window, will close them all, If it's closing ALL the windows too, i would maybe try a repair or a reinstal of IE 7 or firefox if you'd like to try itout, may be a corrupt file , a simple reintsal or repair may do it....

all the windows lori

try going and redownloading it

but b4 that when yer done for the evening

run error check with auto repair on

good luck

Closing all associated windows is something which can happen when a process serving all those windows crashes. I don't know whether IE7 launches a separate process for each window. It would not hurt to try Davy's advice - uninstall & reinstall.

Google ----> 'Maxthon'

Check your IE settings. Are you set up to "open in the same window"? If so, using tabbed browsing might be affected. ??

Have you checked here?
Internet Options
General Tab
Tabs - settings

...see what your settings are and change them if necessary.
