Hi David,
See if these commands help, from Start/Run:
regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 /i urlmon.dll
Restart Windows.
Additional recommendations:
Disable all Pop-up blockers if installed any. Here is a detailed note from

You probably have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, a firewall,
Earthlink (or another) pop-up blocker, MyIE2 (or another shell for IE) etc.
You'll have to turn off the feature that's blocking new windows or, perhaps,
uninstall the program.
BHO Demon from

offending program/BHO.
Or it could be caused by spyware/parasites. Work through the solutions
(CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at

You'd be interested in using my program ToolbarCop to disable the IE add-ons
(that includes browser extensions, toolbars, additional buttons to the
standard toolbar, Browser Helper Objects) selectively, to isolate the
problem. ToolbarCop can be downloaded from:
