Web Link problems

I recently had to reinstall my operating system. I have a problem,that if I am on a web site and there is a web link and I click on it, a new Intenet explorer window comes up but there is nothing in it. What has to be unchecked or reset to allow the link to come up. Thanks.

not sure, but use Firefox!

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Check Reuse Windows for Launching Shortcuts
Turn off firewalls
Does FireFox work?

the Answer can't always be, "Use Firefox" *shakes head* - tho' it is helpful to know if another browser works... it's not always the answer. Because if it doesn't then maybe there is something inherently wrong with the page code ..
