Can't view java re-directed web pages

[Pietro]

Hi, I'm running IE6 with all the latest patches, etc &
windows XP.

All had been going well, then when I went online today, I
started having problems with IE6. When I click on a link
that throws up a new window, instead of simply loading the
new page, all I get is the frame of the windows, showing
the page behind it & the cursor showing busy. (I'm having
to use Netscape to send this, which seams to be unaffected
as is Opera)

I am running java virtual machine (have also tried with Sun
java but without success). I haven't changed any security
or firewall settings recently.

Does anyone have any ideas? (preferably ones that don't
involve messing around in the registry) Would re-installing
IE6 help & if so, would I just have to install over the top
of the current installation.

Thanks
