i'm having a very queer problem with internet explorer... ever since i installed the last critical update patch from WU.com it hasn't been starting new instance links... i.e. one that pops up a new browser.. so i can't shift click to open in a new window... right click and say 'open in a new window' or even open links directly in outlook express... i need to click the internet explorer start button and move the link manually into there to open it. anybody have any clue what to do? ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |

the worst part is that some websites don't work at all because of the way they change pages using javascript... ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |

| I got a similar problem at work, except it opens new instances but with no URL, just a blank white screen, pretty annoying. Now I just use Netscape/Mozilla. It's a good time for you to upgrade now. |
