QI'm having trouble when I go from my Yahoo e-mail to other websites using Internet Explorer 9. For example, when I accessed a Publishers Clearinghouse website, the screen broke into three segments. Then I tried to print the Qdoba Restaurant menu and got only blank pages. I'm also getting intermittent spellcheck failures and the scrolling isn't working smoothly.
Yahoo said the problem wasn't with its e-mail service and suggested I contact the other websites. What should I do?

AYahoo's correct. These problems are most likely caused by Web page design or the settings on the IE 9 browser.
Qdoba.com is one of those websites that's not designed for printing. You can identify such websites by using the print preview command. If the preview is blank, the website isn't printable.
Publishersclearinghouse.com is designed to open a second page when you click a link on the screen. That second page will open either as a separate window or a second browser tab in your current window, depending on IE's settings.
To alter the settings, go to tools, select Internet Options, then click the "settings" button next to "Change how webpages are displayed in tabs." Check or uncheck the box next to "enable tabbed browsing."
IE spellcheck and scrolling problems may be related to having too many windows or tabs open at once.
