IE8 Keeps Opening New Instances of Itself

I upgraded from IE7 to IE8 a couple of weeks ago on a computer running Windows XP Professional. IE8 has an annoying "bug" not present on IE7 or Firefox 8. After I first bring it up, and it displays my home page,(as it should), and then when I click on any of the links shown instead of simply going to that address, it opens a new instance of itself which shows the desired page at that link. The original instance of IE8 continues to show the home page. If I close the original instance, things proceed normally as desired, as long as I don't open another instance of IE8. If I do open another instance and later click on a link, the desired destination shows up on the wring IE8 instance.

Is thi a bug, or can it be fixed? I looked at the Advanced Settings under Internet Options, but could not find anyting.
