Opening up second window doesn't work
« on: January 16, 2005, 05:07:34 AM »
My friend was on my computer last night, Doing god knows what, And when I used it the day after, It has been giving me this problem. :\

Everytime I click on a link or such that opens up a new window, The page will always say "Cannot find server."

This happens even if I manually try to go into something through a new window by "Open with."

Basically I have to copy down the link (If that's possible, Some windows such as chats don't have an address bar to copy from) And open up a fresh window myself, Paste it down, And access it this way.

Now while this isn't too much of an annoyance, I can't do this with every page I access that opens a second page, Because I can't copy the address.

What do I need to fix to allow second windows to work?

I'd be very grateful for help...

Do you have a pop-up blocker?

No I don't..But recently (And this is after the incidents started), I'd got an Ad-aware program.

*This is because I was getting randum pop-ups as well since this started. (Though they obviously won't work either)
