Links Don't Work

Links don't open anymore. In November, they did. In December, they didn't. If the link will re-use the window I am in, that's fine. Even though I have EVERYTHING set to "re-use window", many times a new window will pop up anyway, but can't load. A work-around is to right-click on the link, "save shortcut", and paste that into the new window. It's a pain but I can get there. Many times, however, "save shortcut" doesn't appear as an option. I'll get the "save picture" menu instead. Other times I get the "save background" menu. (One example of this is on: http://webmessenger.msn.com/default.aspx?R=1 , when I click on the "Start MSN Web Messenger" bar. The pop-up window doesn't have a URL bar anyway. If such windows are java, sometimes I'll get it, often not. I have looked everywhere for a similar problem. I seem to be the only one who can't get there from here! Thanks, Marjorie (Oh no! I can't get the Quick preview!)
