Most of the time when I click on a link on a webpage, it wont work. Sometimes if i right click and select "open in new window", that will work. But if i just left click, it wont. How do i fix this?

Hi,
Check in Internet Explorer\options\advanced if you have enable - Reuse windows for launching shortcuts (or use -restore defaults)

I've had the same thing happen when I've not closed the browser program in a while. Logging off and/or rebooting fixes the problem for me.

If your system does this even when you just started up and don't have a lot in memory, I'd re-install or upgrade the browser program.

I have run into this a number of times. Updating your browser, and or JAVA runtime (ie. Microsoft Virtual Machine or Sun JAVA runtime.) Usually fixes it.

Long shot here, but have you tried holding down Ctrl and then clicking? If so, this is a security enforced from having Office 2000 installed. Install the latest O2000 SP and the newest IE5.5 / 6 updates.
