IE6 new windows freeze up

[Matt Ion]

When opening a new window in IE6, whether by using "Open
link in new window" or when done internally via target= or
Javascript, the new window's frame will come up, and then
freeze there indefinitely with no content.

It's quasi-transparent, meaning I can see what's behind
it, but if I drag it, it takes that snapshot of the
background with it.

If I click the Close button, it closes without fuss. If
I'm given the toolbar, I can click Stop, and it will then
fill in the URL and I can click Go or Reload and the
window WILL load normally. Unfortunately, that doesn't
work when Javascript opens a new toolbar-less window.

I'm having the same problem. I downloaded a different browser (Mozilla) and it works fine, but I would really prefer to use IE6.

Other browsers work fine, but frankly, I find IE just plain faster to start
up (by 5-10x), since most of it is already loaded with Windoze base code
anyway...

It looks a bit like a video-driver problem to me... what video card and
driver revision are you running?

This is on XP Pro, BTW...
