Pc problem (help)

smudgley · 14-03-2007, 09:37 AM

I'll try & explain this as clearly as I can.

When I open a website (eg catsey) then minimize it, it goes down to the toolbar as it should.

Then when I click on the internet icon, to open another thing (eg photobucket) instead of opening up, it grabs the catsey icon from the toolbar & then goes to the internet homepage & catsey has gone!

Does that make any sense whatsoever?

So when I try to post photos or hop around from one forum to another, I can't because I can only have one thing open at once....

Any ideas, I'm useless with PC stuff.

I've no idea Smudgley, maybe Tom will have an idea but he won't see this post until after school. Hopefully somebody will have rectified the problem for you by then

Thanks Fran - Well I'm off out now & won't be back on until this evening - so hopefully someone may have had some ideas by then.
It's really frustrating.

I think you need to go to File and open a new window before you open Photobucket, Smudgley? Then you will have the two separate windows to work with....

are you using a 'tabbed browser'? if so, thats your problem, for example if your using the new Internet Explorer 7 that MS have just released, that supports tabbed browsing meaning you can open more than one page within one window. Tabbed browsing only needs one 'main' window open so will use the browser window you already have open thinking thats what you want to do.

Open IE (Internet explorer) and press 'Control+T' that should open a new tab, if this is the case then you do indeed have tabbed browsing and no way i know of stopping the problem, but does solve it by the fact that you dont need to open a new broswer when you want to go to another site but stay on the one previous at the same time.

Hope that helps and makes sense

Not only am I practically computer-illiterate, I have a Mac! I don't even understand what you're trying to do...think we do need Tom here!

Hmm i understand what you mean but not sure what is causing the problem because even if you have IE 7 with tabbed windows you can still open another window without it having an effect on the other
