Hi guys, any help greatly appreciated

Just this week my PC has decided not to open any links that open in a new window

If the link opens in the same window/tab then it's fine, but if it opens in a new window I just get a new WHITE window!
I have to cut and paste the link into the address bar then it opens fine.

I'm running XP PRO & Internet Explorer 7, any ideas please.

TIA Steve

That's your problem right there. Do yourself a favour and download FireFox.

Go to getfirefox.com
Download Firefox.
Erase IE.
Go on with your life.

There's a reason people love Macs and hate Windows, and IE is a good part of that reason.

Once you are running FF, you can install an extension called "IETab" which will launch an IE window inside of FF, for those websites which will only work with IE.

Thankfully, those sites are starting to reduce in numbers.

The problem is IE-7. I solved it be reloading IE-6. Microsoft really kicked the pooch on that one.

Another vote for FF. Stick it to the man!
