Links do not load

[Guest]

Recently when I click on a link within the browser, a new ie page starts to
open but without a URL in the address field and the page doesn't fully open.
Any help is appreciated.

better.Any other ideas would be appreciated. Thanks for the assistance

Hi Steve,

Are you using pop-up killers? If so, try disabling them. To test with,
disable all third-party browser extensions and scan the system for spyware.
Use Ad-Aware (www.lavasoftusa.com) to scan.
* Update the pattern file first, using "WebUpdate" feature *

Also, post what OS you have.

I have disabled Popup Stopper that has run for a year with no change in this
condition. I ran Spybot last night with no change. The OS is 98 Sec Ed. Not
familiar with the WebUpdate feature. Is that a new Win version feature? It
appears this problem is fairly widespread though I have run this system for
over a year with no indication of this problem, until now.

Thanks for you assistance.
