My computer used to automatically open a new webpage in a new tab now it openes them in a new window. I liked it better the old way and don't know how it changed. How do I get it back to how it was? Help please

If you insist on using IE, right click on a link and choose the "Open link in new tab" option.

This I do know already. I'm wanting my 2 gmail accounts open (business and personal) and my calendar side by side. This used to happen. I lost internet conection for a little while. Now I'm back online everything openes in new window!

I got this, guys and girls.

For Internet Explorer, to find out what version you're running, click on Help, and then About Internet Explorer. This will show your version. If you're running version 6, you need to upgrade ASAP, as it's very insecure.

To change the behavior of tabs, click on Tools, and then Internet Options. From there, click on the Settings button next to Tabs. This will let you choose to open links in a new tab.
