Can't Open more than One Internet Browser at a Time

I bought a Toshiba laptop this past spring which I use, offline, at the office.  i've had a problem with it since the day I hooked it up to the internet the first time.  I can't open more than one internet browser at a time.  Windows 7.  I had need to get online with it today and had forgotten about this problem.
I called Toshiba and they wanted to sign me up to some fee-based service.  They said, without checking anything (or even asking me who I am, or what my computer serial number is) that I had a virus.  Is there a virus going around that causes this problem?  IF so, how could I possibly get it considering I bought this computer in a sealed box?
My AV software does not pick up any viruses.  I use Avast.
Can anybody help me? 
Thanks.

There's a handy reference for keyboard shortcuts here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Keyboard-shortcuts
That Windows key turns out to be useful, try Windows-D to show the desktop
To open a new browser window, Ctrl-n while in the browser will probably work, or it your browser supports tabs, try Ctrl-t

  • Can you open more than one ER file at a time?

    I was wondering if you can open more than one file at a time in ER?
    I attempted it, however, it does not appear that I can do that like other Adobe products.  (If not, it would be  nice to have the ability of working, or opening more than one file at time within ER.)

    Thanks for the suggestion!  We definitely agree that having multiple files open is a key enhancement and have it in our roadmap for future updates.

  • Can't open more than one InDesign file at a time.

    InDesign CS6
    Sometimes, when I try to open a second or third InDesign file I get this message:
    [Cannot open "file-name.indd" please close one or more Adobe InDesign documents or books or libraries and try again]
    If I close all open files, it lets me open one file.
    If I quit, and restart Id, I can open more than one file for a while, then it starts to show this error message again.
    Interestingly, it was doing this same behavior in Id CS 5.5.
    I was hoping that upgrading to CS6 would cure it of this.
    Any ideas?

    As a general comment, most users don't have a problem opening multiple files, so this is probably something local on all of your systems (though not necessarilty the same thing).
    Standard things to try for troubleshooting are removing all third-party plugins, including any font manager auto-activation, creating a new user account and try that, trash your prefs (see Replace Your Preferences) and start your machine with background programs disabled.

  • Can I open more than one Pages document at a time with the IOS app?

    This sounds crazy, but I can't find how to open more than one Pages document at the same time when using the Pages app on IOS.
    It's easy on the Mac, but on my iPad? Can't seem to do it!
    I'm working on a project where I'm writing one document, but having to frequently cross-refer to another. Having to continually open and close each document, one at a time, on my iPad is driving me mad!
    Am I missing something really obvious? Can anyone help please?

    Many thanks, that's really useful. I've saved the document I'm referring to as a PDF and can now work exactly as you described.
    As you say, it's not elegant, but it does work
    Just need to ensure my fingertips are very dry, as I fear any slight 'catching' with a four finger swipe and my iPad will fly across the room / train / office 

  • I can not open more than one firefox page at a time

    I usually run 2-3 firefox separate pages during in internet session. Now I can only open one page at a time.

    Hello solardave, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Can't open more than one Macromedia product at a time

    I haven't really used my Studio products much other that
    editing web pages. Well now, I'm working on a site that uses flash,
    but for some reason I can't have both Dreamweaver (MX 2004) and
    Flash open at the same time. If I try to open a secondary MX 2004
    program, it'll load the splash screen and then exit. The process
    won't keep running. Is this normal? This is frustrating because I
    can't work with two programs at the same time.

  • Can i open more than one Resultset object

    hi in my program i have to retrive data from three table and the data from three
    table i have to use in another one
    i wanna know that can we open more than one ResultSet object within one
    try{
    }catch{] block ( i means ResultSet rs = st.excuteQuery(query) more than one time for different -different tables)
    or there is any other way to do this

    You can only have one active result set per statement at a time.
    Depending on the driver you are using you might be able to have more than one active statement (and result set) on one connection. Or not.
    Try catch has nothing to do with that.
    If you are nesting result sets then it is likely you should be using a join (SQL) which would then only require one result set.

  • HT5622 can i open more than one email address

    Can I open more than one email address on my icloud.  I need a second address for work. Do I need a second appleID?

    You can have only one iCloud email account for each iCloud account.  You can create alias addresses liked to your account, but they will all deliver email to the same iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a).
    If you want a separate email account, you will need to create a second iCloud account.

  • Can I use more than one bluetooth device at a time with my iphone4

    Can I use more than one bluetooth device at a time with my iphone4

    Anthony
    I have a Plantronics 975 earpiece that works very well with my Razr.  I
    just got a Panasonic KX-TG7873S phone system for my home, it has a
    "Link-to-Cell" cellular convergence solution, from what I understand it is
    just Bluetooth enabled.  I have paired both device with my Razr.  In
    settings, Bluetooth setting, both device show.  But only one device can
    connect at a time.  If my Plantronics is connected and I choose the
    Panasonic device, the Plantronics device disconnects and the Panasonic
    device then says it is connected.  Both devices work when they
    are connected.  Is it because they are both "headsets"?
    So, to have to remember to connect to one or the other device, depending on
    weather I am coming or going is not practical.

  • HT1657 Can you rent more than one movie at the same time?

    Can you rent more than one movie at the same time on itunes?

    I think Justin is correct and you should have statistics in place and a reasonable partition scheme so that the optimizer selects the correct partitions rather than telling it what to do. You paid a lot for partitioning after all.
    There are some, possibly misguided, examples in the manuals showing how to create a view so you can delete from a single partition without specifying the partition criteria in the delete statement. This in effect turns partitioning back into DIY partitioning i.e. separate tables, union all and pretend its a single logical table using a view. But backwards.
    So to do what you want you just assume the partitions are separate tables, and then use union all to glue the ones you want back together.
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2000)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2001)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2003)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2004);It probably goes without saying that as well as making the expensive version of partitioning behave like the free alternative, there is the possibility that it will perform like it as well.

  • HT5019 MacPro laptop display and 2 external monitors (three displays). Can I have more than one application displayed at a time?

    I would like to have my MacPro laptop display and 2 external monitors (three displays). Question, how can I have more than one application displayed at a time? IE: I would like email on one monitor, Finder on my laptop, and iTunes on the other. Possible?
    With extended desktop, it appears that I can only have one application presenting at a time. Sort of defeats the purpose of having multiple displays.
    I am using the HDMI and the mini HDMI connectors.

  • Can I open more than one instance of CC5.2?

    In my experience, I have not been able to find a way to open more than one instance of CC5.2.  If I want to run an SOD user analysis and an SOD role analysis, for example, I have to run one and wait for the results to return before I can run the next analysis.  
    If I open a new instance of Internet Explorer and type in the url for CC5.2 while CC5.2 is already running in a separate instance, it overwrites whatever is running and reopens CC5.2 all over again.
    In CC4.0 I was able to open multiple SAP sessions and run multiple SOD reports.  I understand 5.2 is a web app, but it seems the code should be smart enough to allow me to open multiple IE instances to run multiple analyses. 
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    Sandy

    Hi Sandy,
      What about option to run your analysis jobs on the background ?
      You can still be in your IE session, but schedule several analysis to run on the background. On completion of the jobs, you'll be able to check output results for each of them.
      Advantage of this is that it also doesn't depend on your link between your machine and CC server which could be an issue for the foreground jobs.
    Best regards,
    Laziz
