Opening links in a new window

Whenever I try to open a link a new window, IE freezes. This happens when the link is targetted to a new window, I right click: Open in New Window, and if the Javascript calls it to open in a new window. IE will freeze, and to get the window to open up, and get IE to continue working, I have to right click:Close the window in the taskbar. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, and virus scanning as well. Any help will be greatly appreciated as this has become quite the nuisance. I am using IE6 on Win2K.
 
Check if a program running in the background is interfering with Internet
Explorer. Temporarily disable all Norton programs, including anti-virus, win
doctor, recycle bin protect, and clean sweep. Disable any firewall or
ad-blocker.

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
