this same thing is happening to us. for right now we are running test to see if it is a virus. also to help if you right click the link and click copy shortcut you can get the link like that. does anybody know how to fix this problem?

Did you guys play around with the advanced options? Something mus tbe disabled/or enabled were it shouldnt be.

peace

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).

Anyone have a fix for this problem? I tried the suggesstion above but no luck.

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:
