For no apparent reason, I started to encounter a problem with new pop
up windows using IE6 sp1. Sites that I visited with javascript pop up
windows did not work; frequently I would get a "The callee (server
[not server application]) is not available and disappeared; all
connections are invalid. The call did not execute.". Quickly after I
noticed if I right clicked on any link and selected "Open in New
Window" it didnt work also.
I searched google and other sites for info on this. I read a lot of
suggestions, such as disable BHOs, check if browser was hijacked,
check if a popup stopper is installed (never had one), reinstall and
repair IE (easier said then done), check registry settings, reinstall
scripting engine, update IE, check hosts file, restore internet
defaults or privacy settings, and I can go on what was suggested. But
I will tell you what worked for me and few other ppl.

For some odd reason, you may have to re-register some of the DLLs with
regsvr32. regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll did the trick for me (it was the last
one on the list).
I hope this helps out someone because I was about to give up and try
to repair or restore the OS which was one of the suggestions also.
Cheers, Steve
