Spawned browser windows hang until stopped and refreshed.

[DaveS]

This just started happening to me a couple days ago.
Running IE 6, Windows XP Home. Whenever IE is instructed
to open a new browser window from within a webpage, a
spawned or child window, the new window hangs open
indefinitely. If I press STOP and then REFRESH, the page
appears, but any other windows where those buttons are
not visible can only be closed.

I have a current disinfection by NAV and have run SpyBot
with the most recent updates, to no avail. I have
applied all available patches from windowsupdate and re-
applied XP SP1, yet this problem persists. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
I recently started having the exact same prolem. Not
sure what the problem is, but I'd be thrilled if you said
you had it figured out.

Try this site

and just follow the directions. It seems to have worked
for me.

Awesome! That fixed it with the first DLL file
registration. Thanks!
