I was having problems in IE were hyperlinks were not working (javascript or
some html....mostly where a new window was involved).

I found this in the IE help for repairing problems with IE:

===========================================

To uninstall Internet Explorer

If you encounter problems that you cannot resolve, it is often beneficial to
uninstall Internet Explorer and then reinstall it. This procedure replaces
files that might have been damaged.

In Windows, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click the Add or Remove Programs icon.
 Notes

If you are using Windows XP, click Start, click Control Panel, and then
click Add or Remove Programs.
If you upgraded to Internet Explorer 6, when you uninstall Internet Explorer
6, you will go back to the version of Internet Explorer that was on your
computer before you upgraded.

====================================================

I actually found IE under Add/Remove components. I removed IE then re-added
it and it fixed all my problems.

Hope this helps
