    Ever since the latest XP updates, Visual Studio 2005 has been popping up multiple web browser windows when I click run (with or without debugging). Anyone else had this issue?

    Hello,

    I assumed that it's a Web Site project.
    Please right click the web site name and choose "Browse With..." in the context menu. In the opened dialog box, choose a Browser, and then click "Set as Default" button on the right.

    Would you please try this and tell me the result?
    Best regards,

    I ran into the same thing with Vista.  I tried the "Browse With..." and IE was already the default.  So i changed it to internal browser and changed it back to IE and now i dont get two browsers.

    I have to take that back.  I still get two browsers when using "View in browser".

    If i use "Browse With" and click the browse button in it's dialog.  I only get one browser.

    I had this Problem wth IE 8.  when i click on run button multiple browser windows popped up. when i closed other windows except one window, page cannot be displayed error appeared. This is because of the loosely coupled feature of the IE 8. You only have to do is, adding a registry entry to registry database.
