Hi everyone, Certain links in Internet Explorer 6 open and then close as soon as they open. Can anyone help me with this problem?

I registered them, but it gives me no confirmation messages and the problem is still there.

Go to IE tools/internet options/programs and turn on the check box for IE to check if it is the default browser. Shut down and restart IE. When it asks to be default browser, say yes.

You have a web page open that you're checking out. An e-mail comes in and you decide to switch to your e-mail program. As you check out the new e-mail, you see a friend has sent you a link to a cool web page. So, you click the link and it loads in place of the page you were originally looking at. You catch yourself yelling, "Hey, stop! I was lookin' at that!" Sure, you can always hit your Back button to go back to your original page, but wouldn't it be nicer if the e-mail link would just open up in a new window? Good news- it can with just a couple of clicks of your mouse! 1. Open up IE and select the Tools menu, Internet Options. 2. Under the Advanced tab, look for the Browsing section. Now, look for a check box labeled "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts". Uncheck and you're all set If you're using a pre 5.0 version of IE, you're looking to check (not uncheck) a checkbox labeled "Launch Browser windows in a seperate process". ------------ Upgraded IE & you have problems . Microsoft provides a patch to rectify the problem: http://download.microsoft.com/download/msninvestor/Patch/1.0/WIN98/EN-US/mcrepair.EXE When you run this executable, when it prompts you whether you wish to overwrite Newer files, make sure to click YES for each file (do not select "No" or "No to All"). ----------- http://support.earthlink.net/mu/1/psc/img/walkthroughs/windows_9x_nt/browsers/ie_4.0/1704.psc.html Hyperlinks don't launch in a new window / Set Internet Explorer to browse in a new process

WOW! I will check all this out and get back to you. You have been a big help Johnw! Thank you!

I checked all that stuff out and none of it worked. Certain links I click in IE6 just open for a quick second and then close. Well if anyone can give me some more advice I would really appreciate it. Thank you Johnw!
