IE6 Will not open 2nd window

I am running 98SE and IE6.

When I click on a thumbnail the 2nd window will open but nothing happens,
blank screen. When I go to Windows Update and try to download the latest 4
updates the download/install window opens but freezes. I have to
ctrl/alt/delete to get out.

I have run SpyBot, Ad-Aware, CWshredder, and HijackThis. The system appears
clean and I do not know how to read HijackThis. I have enabled and disable
"third party extensions" and "reuse window for launching shortcuts".

One other thing, when I get popup ads they go to the bottom tool bar and
will not open or restore, all I can do is close them. I am not running any
pop up killer software.

Help, any ideas?

Tried all the resolutions on the page and still does not work. I still
cannot download updates from "Windows Update" either.

I do not know how to "verify registry values" as suggested in the last
section of "RESOLUTION". How do I do that?

To check the registry setting run REGEDIT from the start/run applet.

Just look at the settings if not familiar with the registry as you can
damage your system more that it is.

Look here for your problems to up date from MS.
Microsoft Troubleshooting site.
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/


Run MSCONFIG from the start/run applet.
Under StartUp tab, what is running that you are not aware of?

Check the processes against this database.

OK. I ran the regdit and did a search and the registry values are missing.
Now what?

OK, I learn something every day. The registry values are OK but there is an
additional entry, "NumMethods" Name: Default, Data: "7"

Does this mean anything.

I still have not resolved the problem and from reading the news group this
seems to be a problem that may be increasing in frequency. Or I could be
imagining things.

Any help is appreciated.
