internet explorer link will not open

[Guest]

When I use the Internet Explorer and need to open another window either by
right clicking and opening link in a new window or just clicking on it, the
only thing that happens is a totally blank page. It just sits there blank.
Now, I have tried to re-install the program, but it didn't work. I downloaded
the installer for internet explorer 6, the most current one I can find on the
Microsoft site, but it tells me the version I have is newer and it quits the
installation.

Hi,
Some possibilities...

From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."

And... you may have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, Earthlink (or
another pop-up blocker) My IE2 (a shell for IE) etc.
Yahoo Companion is a very common cause.

You'll have to turn off the feature that's blocking new windows or, perhaps,
uninstall the program.

With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.

If you're *sure* that another program isn't causing this, these links may
help.

Or it could be caused by spyware/parasites. Work through the solutions
