Re: IE Internet Explorer opens multiple windows repeatedly

This may or may not be the same issue, but it drove me nuts until I found a
fix so I thought I would pass it along:

IE December Security Update – addressing scattered reports of odd browser
behavior

We have received scattered reports of users experiencing odd browser
behavior after installing our most recent security update. Some of you have
reported opening a browser window that promptly hangs IE, others have
reported opening links that render blank, and finally we have reports of
multiple windows opening when initiating a browser session. After
investigating several of these reports, we have traced these issues to a
common source.

If a user has ever attempted to run IE7 Beta1 in an unsupported side-by-side
configuration with a version of IE6, IE7 Beta1 puts a registry key on the
machine the first time a user executes the IE7 version of IEXPLORE.EXE. This
key is part of an normal IE7 installation on XP, and will not be configured
correctly if an unsupported side-by-side install is used. When IE7 is
installed using the installer, the key should be removed properly upon
uninstall. A machine can also load this registry key and not remove it during
a failed IE7 installation.

To address this issue on a machine running IE 6 SP1 with our most recent
security update, locate and delete this entire key from the registry of the
affected machine:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{c90250f3-4d7d-4991-9b69-a5c5bc1c2ae6}. If you are
running IE7 Beta1 in a side-by-side scenario with another version of IE, this
is not a supported scenario. Please uninstall and reinstall IE7 Beta1 in the
recommended manner.

Thank you all for your blog comments reporting this incident. Your valuable
feedback allowed us to locate this issue in IE7 Beta1 and investigate how to
prevent the problem in future.
