i ran ad-aware but it only found some tracking cookies.
IE is still giving me problems :angry
i`m running BlackICE firewall do you think that could be the reason?
thanks for the advice guys
anyway i guess i`ll totally switch to Opera

my internet explorer v6.0.2800 1106 xpsp2 030422-1633 'freezes' whenever i click
on a link that opens in a new window
i can still use the original window but a new window is frozen
thats a big problem actually, i have to copy a shortcut of a link and then open a new window, paste it then enter to get to that link
i dont know the reason why it does that
can someone please help me with this?
oh and in about it says: update version SP1, Q828750, Q330994, Q818529
if that helps
thanks

It may be spyware, I had a client who exhibited exactly those symptoms. It ended up bieng spyware.

Run ad aware, update it after you download it.

I had the same problem some time back. I think my problem was that I installed some software and it ended up screwing with IE when it was running or when I uninstalled it. Which I cant' remember. My solution was to pop my WinXP CD back in and reinstall. I didn't format, just reparied my installation. Worked fine after that.

thats one solution but what happened to all the updates?

Lol, windows always freezes.. Dont wonder at these kind of things.. This is a normal problem of a Windows user.... When you fix it, you will face another..

I've found that running Spyware-S&D once a week eliminates these probs and keeps the machine running in tip top shape.

I definatly recommend running ad-aware. The amount of spyshite it found on this box was unbelievable.

Also, another idea would be to go through your task manager...shutting off running processes one at a time and see if any of them are interfering with IE.

Good luck..and let us know how you get on.

try doing ie repair by going too http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en and reinstalling it or something

Did you play with your firewall, Double check it and make sure that everything is fine, If possible, reinstall both IE and Firewall... Do a complete Windows UPDATE.... M8, can make it right man... Dont get upset...
