My co-worker and I have recently updated to 5.50.4522.1800 version of IE, and we are unable to use any functionality in a web site that opens a new window...not through TARGET or javascript or shift clicking a link. When we get the error message, it just says Access is denied. Another coworker has the same version as us and does not have the problem.

We are running Windows 2000 Server with all the latest critical updates. We have admin access on our machines. We have just reset all thepermissions on the C drive and that did not work.

20 reboots didn't solve it either.

Access can be denied from the web site end, or by IE refusing to install or run a component. It may be that there is some applet or java component that you have IE preventing from running after the update.

If you know this site is safe, try putting it into the "trusted sites" list (Tools/Internet Options/Security/Trusted Sties/Sites). You may want to look at the "Custom Level" settings for this zone, and compare it against the one on a working station/user.

You should also check Tools/Internet Options/Advanced to make sure that something you need has not been turned off there. Again, compare against a working station.

Good luck.

Well, the best that I could find was this:

That did not solve the problem, however. After three of us found the same problems, our manager marched us en masse to get a new ghost image.

Mine is slated for Monday, it had best work. Add those problems to my explorer.exe process crashing every 5-15 minutes and it doesn't make for an easy work environment.
