New Window Won't Open

When "surfing" with IE6 SP-2, many times, but not all, when I click a link on
a web page the new page will not open...I see a "flash" like it's trying to
open, but then it doesn't. However, if I use Firefox as the browser, I have
no problem. I can't figure out why it happens. Any clues? (private responses

Hi,
This sounds like the work of Ad-aware Pro- the "Block pop-ups" feature. If
not being done by Ad-aware, it's probably the work of another pop-up
blocker. Examine all toolbars, add-ons and privacy/security programs for
a pop-up blocking feature.

Hope this helps,

First, update/reinstall your scripting engines from here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp

If no joy, go to File Types (My Computer...Tools...Folder Options...File
Types tab)
Scroll down to the URL: Hypertext Transfer Protocol file type, click to
highlight, click Edit, click Open, click Edit (slightly different with Me -
click to highlight, click Advanced, click Open, click Edit).

Application used: "C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe" -nohome
Use DDE box should be checked
DDE Message: "%1",,-1,0,,,,
Application: IExplore
DDE...not running: <blank>
Topic: WWW_OpenURL

Okay out.

I tried your suggestions....short of reinstalling IE 6.0.....but am still
having the problem. Guess I'll just have to use Firefox when I need it.
