Hello, again, Everyone,
(My apologies if this seems a bit familiar to some of you, as I'd previously
posted about this here, when I suspected that this issue was somehow related
to Google or Yahoo! toolbars, but, even though they're both uninstalled from
my PC, this issue has appeared again, so may I please ask for your
assistance?)
For reasons that escape me, my IE 6 browser can open up its regular
complement of windows in WinXP SP1 BUT, after reaching their limit, once I
then start to close some of them, I become unusually limited as to how many I
can open afterward.
Usually, it's supposed to be fairly one-to-one (close one, become able to
open another one) but, now, it's more like close two, maybe open one...if
you're good. ;)
No, seriously, something's amiss here. This isn't supposed to happen, and
it's like not enough memory or resources are being returned to the system
after closing a window.
BTW, if I shut down all IE windows that remain open, I can then go
back...for a time...to opening the full complement of windows again, and I'm
back where I started.
Can you please guide/assist me to try and resolve this? Any questions,
please ask and I'll be happy to answer the best I can.
Thanks so much!
Bram
You really need to make sure the computer is malware free and then upgrade to SP2.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure of.
