Internet Explorer pulls up multiple windows

I have a computer that is having problems with internet explorer.  The home page opens just fine but when i try to go to another website it pulls up multiple screens and just errors out.  It has firefox on it as well and that works just fine.  I have ran Spyware doctor and malware but nothing else seems to be wrong.  It is running IE6, I have tried to put IE7 on but it fails.  Any help would be appreciated?

Perform a system restore to the date when the IE was working fine. You will not loose the data howeevr any application installed after that time needs to be reloaded.

Start>All Programs>Accessories> System Tools > System Restore

Hope this helps

Is this the case with all websites or just one or two?
Have you rebooted several times?

warts had the fix but it came back.  I went to the Microsoft website and did what they said.  It worked for us at the store but when the customer brought it home it acted up again.  After we got it working we did all the updates and it was working great.
badlandselect&, which step fixed the problem the first time?

What the difference between your setup and your client's setup?  Is your client using a network?
Ie.inf install fixed the problem.  The client is not using a network but he brought it back here and it was back to the original problem.  I have system restore turned off so if it is a virus or adaware it should not have came back.
Will IE.inf fix the problem again?

If so, find out what he or she did to break IE again?  Running games on IE?
