Hi Adamo :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

First, visit WIndows Update site to scan your machine for any necessary
updates and install them. If this does not resolve the problem then see
below:

You Cannot Open New Internet Explorer Window or Nothing Happens After You
Click a Link

Zone: Error Message or Nothing Happens When You Click a Web Link
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;236846

also....

Go to Start>Run and type in
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
Then click ok
Then open Internet Explorer and go to
Tools>Internet Options>Programs and
click on 'Reset Web Settings…'
Try the hyperlinks again


Hope this helps.

It's possible that you have a 3rd party program that is causing the problem.
If you have Google or Yahoo toolbar or popup blockers, disable them and see
if it helps. Also, if you have Yahoo Companion, uninstall it.

Please post one of the links so that we can tell on this end if the links
are worling properly.

Do these sites have Java or Flash?

It may also be an ActiveX or Security setting that is causing it:

1. Try temporarily disabling your firewall to see if HTTPS then works
correctly.
2. You may have other software installed that is blocking ActiveX content.
3. An option in anti-spyware software you installed and enabled.
4. Could be a BHO (browser helper object) that you installed to provide
additional protection; use BHO Demon to see them, or use Spybot's tools to
list them.
5. You may have used SpywareBlaster to install kill switches in the registry
so certain ActiveX controls will not run, and you've hit one of those
malware AX controls.
6. It may be that you installed lots of other stuff that will affect the web
over which IE has no control.
7. It may be that the developer of the website has programmed something into
the page that is causing the problem. You will have to contact the
webmaster and let them know.

or...............

Your current Security settings prohibit running ActiveX Controls

Set your Security to Med.
View the Browsers How-to regarding updating your browser security settings.
