IE shuts down and reopens new url when clicked

[Guest]

I am using IE6. Whenever I click on an URL to another page the window I am in
shuts down and a new window opens up at the "new url". This get pretty
annoying, specifically if I am needing more than one window open. The only
thing new I have done is download a flash player. I removed it and all
components I could find. Any thoughts? I can give you any more info if it is
needed.
Thanks,
Danny

You're very welcome! Glad to hear you were able to resolve your problem.
Good job!

Things sometimes happen without a clue. My last update for W2K on 12/16/04
managed to change my MS related location, so all the MS KB articles were
showing up in Hungarian...??? When I finally found the site with the area
maps during my troubleshooting, I saw that the location selection window had
Hungary in it, instead of the United States! W'll...as I don't speak
Hungarian, I reselected the United States and then all was back to normal.
Go figure. ;o))

Thank you for posting back and letting us know what worked for you, and for
the benefit of other readers who might have a similar problem.
