IE7 freezes when closing a window

[Bruinfanjb]

Anytime a new window opens from a link in IE7 and I close that window, the
entire program freezes and I have to completely shut it down and restart
internet explorer. This is starting to get really annoying. Does anyone
know of a fix for this? Thanks!
