Hi, I reloaded Windows 2000 recently and since been getting a weird glitch with Internet Explorer. If you click on a link and the page loads by refreshing the current window there is no problem. However, if when the link is clicked and the new page wants to load from a new window nothing happens unless you left click the tab on the bottom toolbar then click the tab again the new window opens and the requested page loads. Weird. I've uninstalled IE and reinstalled, I've gone through all the folder options and IE options..I'm flummoxed!! Any help would be greatly appreciated as my girlfriend is going barmy!! Cheers Steve

Frustrating, huh! I think Netscape may provide the best alternative to IE. I too have the same probs and it is pissing me off as well, especially when there are no solutions to this problem (that I've found any way!). My next machine will be a Mac. My friends don't have any of these rediculous problems that I have with errors and what not. My machine is a high-end Dell with XP. I've never had so many problems in my life!!!!!

I had the same trouble with IE 6 on XP. I found a troubleshooting on microsoft web site for IE4 that work also for IE 6... (source : http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=180176) start...execute "regsvr32 actxprxy.dll" then start...execute : "regsvr32 shdocvw.dll" and reboot hope this helps...

Check out the Opera browser!! I downloaded it (aprox. 15mb) and it works much better than IE. I removed Explorer from my computer and use the Opera Browser as my default. Try it out. I think you'll like the layout and ease-of-use! ;)
