IE 6 - No response from javascript:openWindow

I am having several problems with IE 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633 128-bit.
On a few commercial websites I get no response at all when I click on certain links on their webpages.
It is not a script error because I have Disalbe Script Debugging turned off and Display a Notification about Every Script Error turned on.
Any ideas of how to debug this problem?
Here is the link,

If I click on the Product Contents link on this page, absoultely nothing happens.
Help?
ciao, Dan

Any luck in determining the problem? I am having the same thing happen. It started in just the past 2-3 weeks.

my best guess would be that you have some type of popup blocker and or youve disabled javascript

here's a solution that worked for me. Not sure if it's the right way, but it fixed the problem for now.
Go to the Security tab, then click the 'trusted' sites. Click 'Sites...', then add the site that is giving you heartache.
It worked for me, the zone.msn.com site opened (online game).

Hi everyone,
I just thought I posted a 3 page response here a few minutes ago. I did it in word and pasted it in (I don't see it on here!).
** getting to the point
After I did that, i was looking some more on this site, and I found the solution to all our problems!
The techie named antioed on this site had the answer copied/pasted below:

Re: IE 6 Can't open new windows from link clicked

---------------------------------------------------------------------

For IE 6 try:

Start-->Run-->regsvr32 urlmon.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Msjava.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Browseui.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Shell32.dll

YEAH!!! I CAN USE MY COMPUTER NOW!!! :) :) :)
