Hello all, i have internet explorer, the trouble i am having is, say i get a link from someone or like a notification from ebay or such, as an example say ebay send me a email that is for something i am looking for, i open the email then i click on the item and it opens and i can read all about it, but if i get out of that screen and go back to the message from ebay when i click to open it will not open, i have to in fact get right out of it back to home page and start again, sometime if i click on the link and press shift at the same time it will open, what's the problem.
Sorry about the description of the problem i am not very computer minded as you have probably guessed.
Thank you
george
