Hello,

My question is this. For some reason my Internet Explorer will no longer open links in new windows, even when I tell it to. I am not sure what it causing this, but I am wondering if there is some way I can fix it, as I really need that feature.

Any help is appriciated.

Hi,

Most of time the IE acts like mad. I am simply updated my browser from http://www.avantbrowser.com. It's fully freeware and no spy-ware. Not more than 1 MB. So start the download from above site, install and use it.

It's really very faster, Stable and Pop-UP stopper. All above in my true experience with the avantbrowser. Also i am installed many more cybe cafes and netizens pc's. No one report about the browser. Use and feedback to me.

u r e-buddy,

Thanks, That fixed it when Avant Browser was open, but when I used IE alone it still did it. At the end I formatted and now it works. Thanks for that browser, I now use it more than IE Alone.

Some suggestions:

I 've never had that problem before, but did you try clean up your disk by using "Disk Cleanup" in Windows accessories? Get rid of the temporary internet files.

If you haven't defragmented your hard drive recently, I would try that also.

If you download a lot, and haven't had a virus scan recently, I would try to do a virus scan.

If all else fails, I would uninstall and reinstall IE unless someone else can offer more tips here.

Yeah, I am a PC Tech and never seen this problem before. I am usually fully protected from errors and viruses. Still I am clueless. Thanks for the help.

One more thing to consider.
Do you run a pop-up stopper?
Don't laugh guys, I've seen it before.

Had this problem recently myself. Got this from the Microsoft site:
To resolve this problem, click Internet Options on the Tools menu, and then click the Advanced tab. In the Browsing section, click to clear the Reuse windows for launching shortcuts check box. This option may not be available in early versions of Internet Explorer 5.

Make sure you have the most recent version of IE as well. Good luck!

Pop up stoppers will cause this problem, as mentioned, and so will a corrupted file in the IE cache. You may wish to clear to the cache. Start Internet Explorer and go to Tools/Internet Options/General. Under this tab you will find "Temporary Internet Files". Push the "Delete Files" and "Delete Cookies" buttons. I have my browser set to clear the cache at every exit of IE. To do this you can start IE and go to Tools/Internet Options/Advanced and "check" the box next to "Empty Temporary InternetFiles on Exit". I hope this helps.
