Hyperlinks on websites require more than one click before working

Lately, when I browse and click hyperlinks, nothing
happens the first time I click. It usually takes 2-4
clicks before anything happens. It happens on all
websites, including eBay. For example, when I am looking
at eBay auctions and I want to go to the next page of
listings, I have to click the "Next" hyperlink several
times before it starts to load the next page.

I have started using SpyBot - Search and Destroy and
SystemSuite. The linking problem started about the same
time I started using these two programs.

Thanks in advance for your assistance,

John
 
John,

First, try disabling any pop-up killers you may have installed. Then try
this:

Internet Explorer "new Window" & Script error problems
The following fix solves the problem. Based on MSKB article:

Manual procedure: (Microsoft Knowledge article link)
