i have the same problem
OS: win98
browser IE6 (problem)
netscape (no problem)
WHAT WORKS:
i can click FILE/OPEN a new window
i can drag and drop on existing widow
links that do not open new window work fine in existing window
WHAT DOSNT WORK:
links that open new window stay blank and time out with error
i cannot open a new window by right clicking and choosing open new window
popup adds stay blank
i have reinstalled ie6
i have run from command line to re affirm/correct 7 or so registry entrys
i have reinstalled java
i have tried 2 solutions from microsoft knowlege base (hahahaha)
nothing works
deep in my heart i believe the core of the problem is this is a microsoft windows product,,,
in fact that's what i gleamed from microsoft.. reinstall the os...
what else?
any help would be appreciated
come to think of it i am worried ad aware removed some suspect keys from registry
anyone else with this problem remove keys with adaware or possibly Xsoftspy ?
i'll go dig thru the quarrintine files
if this is the case i wonder why microsoft dosnt have a solution on how a key can wipe out your ie links (at least not the right key.. i checked the 4 ms said to check)
