    I have a new Dell 690 PX with Dual Xeon processors running at 2GHz. I can
    only open maybe 18 windows and then every new window I try to open does not
    actually open. Clicking on the icon for Internet Explorer at this timedoes
    not open IE. However, if I close any open window, I can then open a new
    window.

    Any help would be very much appreciated as many people in my department have
    the same issue.

    There are several variables that can affect this. Generally
    is is related to the number of open files. Which verion of
    Windows are you running and how much RAM do you have in your
    computer?

    Is it a question of handles or resources?

    It's amazing what someone can find when they use Google!

    According to this post:

    Your situation may well be the limit of the system's capability:

    When I used XP and Win 2003 it always bothered me that as
    soon as I opened 15-17 Internet explorer windows my system
    got stuck so hard that even right click context menu
    wouldn't seem to show up.
