hyperlink problems

[Tracy G.]

When I click on a link that opens in a new window it never
loads. As long as the link opens in the same window I have
no problems. It is preventing me from doing windows
critical updates. Any ideas why?

Most likely because you need a critical update! (I know, I know...).

Disable your anti-virus application and leave it disabled while you
copy/paste this link into your browser and download/install Q818529 (at
least):

Thanks PA Bear.
I uninstalled Q818529.
Shut off my firewall software
then reinstalled Q818529

Problem fixed!

I don't have anti-virus software installed so apparently
just firewall software can also cause problems with this
update.
