Hey everybody. I'm new here so I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but bear with me :) I have a Windows XP and every time I try to open a Internet Explorer link, whether it be on the Desktop or in the Programs menu, ect., the window won't open. There's no alert that there's a problem, the link just won't open. The only way I can open the internet is by going to my email and clicking on a link from one of the emails to go to a website. My browser works fine, but it's very frustrating. Some minor notes maybe to consider: When I one of the links, the start panel (hmm how do I put this?) flickers as if it's going to open the window, but then it just....stops, and nothing happens. I've also tried right-clicking the link and opening it there, but the same situation happens. Shortcuts to the Explorer won't work either, and neither will using the Run option. Also, if I try to open explorer through anything else, say, opening something with Explorer, it does the same thing. I think that's about all I can think of, so anybody have help...?

Jump to PostIf you're using a pop up blocker try disabling it. Have you installed Service Pack 2? You can check by clicking Start-->Run-->and then type Winver and click ok...this will tell you the level of service pack installed.
Jump to PostRight click on internet explorer and then click on properties. After that click on the Advanced Tab and then under Browsing uncheck the following option : Enable third party browser extension.
If that does not work then try doing a system restore to a back date
