While trying to remove "Spyware" from my computer, I created another problem. When I try to "open in a new window" or when I click on a link that try's to open a new window, the window comes up but is transparent.(you can only see the original window that's under it) It never fills. Have reinstalled IE 6, but no change. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Bob

i had this problem when i installed IE 6 on my PC at work, i downloaded all sorts of drivers and things for it, even new patches and stuff, but nothing fixed it, i tried downloadin IE6 again and running the setup again but still nothing changed!
the only way i got out of it was by re-formatting my works PC, and then installing everything back on to it!
u mite wanna ask someone else for advice b4 doing this but thats the only way i got out of it!
