if i click on a link in IE6 that opens the link in a new window....the new window opens and freezes....i have to click Stop and refresh to view the content....anyone seen this before...i think it happened after i installed a few upddates from MS...usualy use firefox so i can't remeber exactly when it worked ok..

Is there a stringent popup-blocking option that kills all spawned windows, including ones requested by the user? Like so:

only popup blocker i have running is Google's one...tried disabling that...no joy

You're sure you didn't upgrade to XP SP2, which addsthe IE popup blocker?

Can you give me an example link to test?

happens on every link that spawns a new window wheather it automatically opens in a new window or if i right click and select "open link in new window"

if the link opens in the current page its fine..

internet options
gerneral tab
settings
and increase amount of disc space to use!
hopefully that will sort it

just use mozilla firefox. once you go there you never come back.

You might need to run IE Repair, presuming you have ruled out nasties such as spyware and viruses. You are not alone with this problem by the way - there are people on forums all over the Net with the same problem.

But really ... stick with Mozilla, except where MS, or crappy code forces you to use IE.
