Difficulty getting new IE6 windows...

[Guest]

Hi all, It looks like my IE is corrupted. For example, when I left-mouse-clicked on New to get this "New Thread" window, it didn't come up automatically. What I've discovered is that if I right-click on the IE icon on the task bar at the bottom of my screen, it does something to the IE process and allows it to continue and open a window. It's like the IE process is hung on something until I do that. I have this problem also when I right-click on a weblink and choose "Open in New Window" or when I left click on a link within a message in MS Outlook - it launches an IE process, but that process doesn't open a window. Any ideas how I can fix this

Btw, I followed instructions a

Didn't work, so I just reinstalled IE6,SP1 (latest)
What I notice now, is that if I "Open in New Window" from a just-launched IE browser, I need to do the rightclick on the taskbar icon for it to continue. However, if I do this in the child window which just opened, it works rightaway! So, I'm not sure what's happening in the original window
