Until the launchURL to open in new window is brought back, here is a workaround. When you are in a world in an embedded browser, and click on a web link, the web link may open in the same window you are in, shuting off the  

embedded browser. Ok, you will probably be using the standalone player, so then there is no problems, but not always. 

You can tell internet explorer to load web links in new windows to fix this. 

For Windows XP: 

* 1. Open the control panel 
* 2. Double click on  >internet options 
* 3. Click on the >advanced tab 
* 4. Go down to   >Browsing    and make sure   >reuse windows for launching shortcuts    is unchecked

I thought it would cause the problem of having every single link open in new windows, even in the same site, but it doesn't. I just thought I world try it, and  

it works just for atmosphere. 

Ok, this is for Windows XP. I don't know if it works this way for windows 98, and I cannot check right now. 

See ya.
