for some reason recently when i click on a link on any website, it will not load up! ???
i've deleted any virus' and spyware but it still hasn't solved the problem...
for instance if i go onto a sports website and click on the latest scores tab and it supposed to open up in a seperate window but it will not load up, the new window pops up but nothing appears and this happens on every website! so i cannot click on links.
does anyone know what the problem is?
any help is appreciated
thanks

Go to Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced and set your settings to default.

Could it be that you have a Firewall installed that is not properly configured? (SP 2 Firewall for example)
-

Buying a new computer will not help solve your current problems if you donot know how to prevent them.

If you are using IE6, ditch it. As a matter of fact, ditch IE and get one of the Mozilla browsers. If you insist on IE, with W98 you will do better with an older version than with IE6.
-
naa i dont mind what i use, as long as it works, if i do change from IE then what kind of effects it likely to have? will all programs on the net and everything work the same? will anything require IE instead of the mozilla browser?
and how do i go about to delete IE and then install this mozilla or do i install it first then delete IE?

Your programs will still continue to function. If you wish to know what Mozilla Firefox has to over, go to http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox
Firefox can be set to act as your default browser. There is no need to uninstall IE. If you want, it can be found in your Add/Remove software list (Windows XP)
