Hi Ted
New window is blank or nothing happens when you click on a link - Q281679
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q281679
IE opens a link in the same window instead of a new one
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> check "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."
also...
This is possibly being caused by third party programs-
malware/parasites.
From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable third
party browser extensions."
If this allows IE to work, then you have scumware on your system. First
clean you machine, then Disable the "third party browser extensions." after
the cleanup.
