Hi,
You may have to work through the possible solutions at these pages:
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers2.htm#hyperlinks
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers.htm#new_window

But first, From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable
third party browser extensions."
If that helps, look for an unwanted Browser Helper Object with BHODemon 1.0
from http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm
Or, work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

Hope this helps,
Don
