When I click on a link within a website that needs to open in a new window the new window freezes until I close it. Even those annoying pop-up ads open in a blank window.

If I right click on a link and choose "open in new window" the same thing happens. I get a new blank window. Any help would be very appreciated.

You could possibly have a corrupt IE install
Open the Control Panel,double-click the Add/Remove programs icon,locate Internet Explorer in the window,highlight and click on Remove button,when the pop-up windows comes up select to repair or restore to previous version,if either fials to solve the problem,try updating the java script files or download the utility IERadicator to remove IE and then do a fresh install of IE

Thanks so much for replying to my question. I tried reinstalling without any progress.
This is what my problem was:
Cause
This error is caused by a DLL that was installed on the system, such as Oleaut32.dll, Olepro32.dll, Asycfilt.dll, Stdole2.tlb, or others that are not compatible with that system. For example, version 3.50 of Oleaut32.dll is installed and used only by Windows XP and so causes this error if it is installed on a machine running any other operating system.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Resolution
The only way to avoid this error is to download and run the following executable that is provided by Microsoft.

You may be able to fix it by clicking Start, and then click Run.

Type "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" w/o quotes and press OK. If this doesn't fix it see the whole article.

I also installed the SP1 Patch and ran the command line above without any progress. See above for what my problem ended up being.

I am spliting the points between you guys anyway because you two seem help out everyone when you can and it is really appreciated.
