problem with IE and links

[Stretch]

Hi, I have a problem with IE......when I click on a link, say in an email or any link that opens up in a new window, the window just comes up blank, any ideas why?
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Stretch

Do the windows come up with something like "About:Blank" in the addressbar? This sounds like one of those bugs in IE that I always come across, like right now, when I'm looking at a web site with frames and I use the menu navigation, it will open up in the whole window rather than opening in the side frames like it should.


IE is very bugging and I can't think of anything to fix it directly except for doing updates or *sigh* reinstalling windows and getting the bug at the source, since IE is built-in.

Try microsoft.com support and search their DB.

G'day Andem, Thanx mate.
No it is completely blank, no nothing

Hmm, strange. Here's a few things you can try in order to restore a working IE.

- Scan and remove spyware. These things always mess with IE.
- Make sure your system is upto date.
- Scan for viruses.
- Switch to Opera :lol:

Ahah, I think I found a solution for you.. If it the same concept of opening urls from Outlook, here you are:

Links in Outlook Express Stop Working
When you click on a link in Outlook Express either nothing happens, or when you open a link in a new window all you get is a blank page. The solution is fairly painless, all you need to do is re-register the URL monitor. Click on Start | Run and enter: "REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL" (without the quotes). You should then have a dialog tell you that the procedure was completed. Next, fire up Internet Explorer and Click Tools | Internet Options | Programs | then click the "Reset Web Settings" button. Now, check to see if Web links work like they should in your e-mail client. With any luck, you'll have returned your system to normal.

Switch to Opera Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Laughing

Go Mozilla, Stretch. It's free and it's cool and it has tabbed browsing.

 

[Andem]

Nah, Mozilla is crap. They are scam artists!

Opera all the way
