    I am having a strange problem with my browser. I like using IE rather than other browsers. Now, I am having a situation that an alternate tab would only open the pages. I dont know whats going on. I tried the same page in other browsers as well as in a different tab, and its working perfect. Say, I open a browser,then I open another tab, nothing opens in that tab, then 3rd tab, everything works fine, 4th tab not working and so on. I tried till 12 tabs and its alternative. So, if anyone have suggestions then help me out.

    Thanks

    Are there any addons? If so, have you tried disabling them?

    Does it happen for all users? If there is only one user on the computer, create another account and see if it happens for that one as well.

    First of all. Have you tried to reinstall Internet Explorer? If that doesn't work it should work to reset the tabs in advanced tabs, but apparently it didn't work for you for some reason. But try to reinstall IE and see how it goes.
