ie6 - cannot open in new window and links which open new window no longer work

[kevinf]

Suddenly, ie6 refuses to react to right-clicking a link to
"open in new window" - I just get the hour glass and then
the page remains the same. In addition, clicking any
hyperlink that opens a window does not work - I've even had
to use Opera to write this message because ie refused to
open the "post a new message window". I've applied all the
patches, both to xp and to ie6, and I've re-installed xp.
What the hell is wrong? Anyone any ideas? In all my years
as IT professional I've never seen anything like this
before. Would be grateful for any pointers.
Thanks.

Have applied this. Sometimes works, mostly doesn't.
Hyperlinks that open a new window mostly crash ie. I have
also notice that right clicking "start" then "search" hangs
explorer, although "explore" works fine. Clicking "start"
then "search" also hangs explorer. Something very strange
going on?
