Re: IE 6 hangs by opening a new window

Thanks for the tips. I tried everything but without success.
In addition I uninstalled all toolbars and rerun Ad-Aware, Microsoft 
Malicious tool removal and Spybot Search and Destroy.
I rebooted my machine and still no change.

The strange thing is that IE loads pages if I enter the URL in the Link list 
and/or if I follow a Link within the same Window. Once I click on a link that 
opens a new Window It hangs with an empty frame. Also if I right click and 
select "Open link in new window" -  it hangs with a spinnig globe.

It's getting really frustrating.
