Hello, I am running XP home on a fantastic new Dell PC, however since last week i have been having 'issues' with IE version 6.
I am unable to open any new links from websites.
No pop ups work at all.
I still get loads of spam pop ups and they work fine, but nothing that I actually want to pop up works.
I have restored all the IE settings to default, downloaded the latest patches from microsoft, even re-installed IE.
Nothing seems to work!
Can anyone help?????
Thanks
Flea

Well, let's start with the basics:
-) Does this happen on all websites, or just one? If it happens on only one, then try a different website...
-) If it's just the pop-ups that you're concerned with, make sure you have java enabled - most of the pop up windows are javascript.
-) Goto Tools->Internet Options -> Advanced -> Browsing , and about halfway down the list, look for the option "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts". If it's checked, that means that all links you open in a new window will open in the same one (ie, if you have 2 windows, and are looking at page 1, all links you open in a new window will open in window 2). Uncheck this and try it again.
-) Download a different browser. I prefer Mozilla Firefox, but if you're more of an IE fan, try Maxthon (MyIE2).
Cheers!

run several spyware detection programs on your machine.
My cousin PC once had a problem with spyware that would always redirect any attempt to access the net to a certain spyware search engine.

Thanks for the help!
It hasn't had an effect though.....

I'm going to try downloading another browser.
Thanks anyway!!!
