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

Do you mean that you want all links to open up in a new window? I don't think you could set this as default - nor do I see why you'd want to? On the other hand, you can right click on any link and choose "open in new window"

Thanks for your reply, no I Meant something else

When you click on some links, they go straight to the link without opening up a new IE and some links tend to open up a new IE to show the linked page, well when I click on the ones that have to open up a new IE, and new IE opens but it doesn't show anything on the page. I figured it might be one of my custom level functions but i don't know which, thanks.

The solution to your problem isn't in your browser. The HTML code for the page specifies if the link should be opened in a new window, or not.

Do you have a popup killer that is just horribly written?

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

try the following:
1) launch IE, go to Tools & then Internet Options;
2) on the General tab (which it launches to) delete cookies and temporary internet files, including all offline content;
3) go to Advanced tab, lower right click on restore defaults and click Apply;
4) go to Programs tab, middle left click on reset web setting, (recommend you deslect reset homepage);
5) go to Privacy tab (if present), if Default Levels button is active click it;
6) go to Security tab and for each zone set levels to Default Levels if said button is active; click OK.

I had to fix this problem as well. I had to

click on Start and select Run. I typed regsvr32 actxprxy.dll then clicked OK. Then I typed regsvr32 shdocvw.dll and clicked OK. Restart you computer. If new windows still won't work you may have to try re-installing your browswer. Also, STRONGLY recommend backing up your entire hard drive before the procedure. NOTE: This worked for me using IE Version 5.5.

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

Thanks a lot. The problem seems to be solved. I tried all your run commands with the exception of Msjava.dll as I don't have that on my computer but apart from that evrything else was OK

Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
