Need a little help

My loving wife and son got me a new laptop for Christmas, Gateway NV with Windows8.
Long story short is I have kind of learned to move around in it but my email is driving me crazy!!!!
It has IE10 and I have installed the roadrunner tool bar so I can check my RR email (95% of all my stuff goes there)
Anyway, when I click my email to check it, IE10 opens it in a new window, then every email is opened in a new window too!!!!
I am not the most computer literate person in the room but my other laptop opens everything in a new tab instead of a new window.
All the settings that I could think to check match on both systems so I really don't know where else to look.
Its a real PITA to have a ton of open windows and the charm bars don't help any.
I don't "change" very well but they really tried hard to get me something I would use and I don't want to hurt their feelings but I am not really impressed with Windows8 either, then again my favorite was XP.
Thanks for any ideas.

Not sure how to change the default setting but a quick workaround is to hold down the control key and then click. It will open a new tab instead of a new window.

Tools - Internet Options - Tabs - Settings

It also has to do with how the webpage was designed. Try google for a more definitive answer.

tried all of that, you would think that could fix it LOL

Ive been using google chrome and i like that better than IE. If IE is still giving you trouble give google chrome a try. Unless youre a Bing guy... In which case this is now awkward...:D

Firefox and chrome are much better. It could also be that the webmail page is not compatible with ie10 maybe??? Try another browser though, google chrome has proven itself to be the quickest to me.

Just loaded Chrome and it would be great if I could install the RR tool bar on it:mad:
I sure hate change!!!

Yeah, have you ever thought of using a free mail client and setting it up that way?

Try Thunderbird.

Its a RR thing, they only do IE up to 8 and firefox................. Guess I will just have to deal with it.

In that case, I would use a mail client, such as Microsoft Live Mail or as JohnNJ stated, Thunderbird by Mozilla!!!

If you need any help with the pop/imap and smtp settings, let me know!

Thanks everyone............ I'm just going to change all my stuff to my gmail and LIVE accounts.
This should take all day, just as bad as transfering all of my favorites over:(

Open Internet Explorer
Go to tools > internet options
Under General Settings look for the tab label and select settings button
Then select a new tab in current window
Done.

That is the sequence from IE9 but it should be pretty much the same for IE10. I didnt install IE10 on my desktop yet but it is on my laptop so I will get you the exact sequence in this didn't work for you a bit later tonight.

Nope, RoadRunner Mail is not compatible:rage::rage::mad:

Out of curiousity, have you ran the browser in compatibility mode and then tried using the client?

I called Time Warner tech support then changed everything to gmail;)
