Can't open web page in new window

I was cleaning up my programs folder yesterday and must have gotten rid
of a program I needed. Now I can't open a web page in a new window in
XP Professional. For example, I was using a web based Multiple Listing
Service (MLS) and clicked on one of the buttons that usually opens a
page in a new window. All that happened was the screen blinked. I
manually typed the web address in a new browser session and the page
came up.

I don't have pop-ups blocked in XP Security or Norton. Please help!
Thank you.

This is usually caused by third-party browser add-ons. Disable all Pop-up
blockers if installed any. Here is a detailed note from Don Varnau, MS-MVP
Internet Explorer.

<quote>
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 http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm may find the
offending program/BHO.

Or it could be caused by spyware/parasites. Work through the solutions
(CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that

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:
