Links NG in newsgroups; e-mail links work OK (More)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

Problem: Clicking links works OK in e-mails, but fails to do
anything in newsgroups.

Action/Solution(not): After much futzing and good advice
received here, without success, I created a new mail identity and
I thought
that worked; it did, but only for a short period of time. Much
confusion settled out, but no answer yet.

Temporary annoying workaround:
Switch Identities.

Whenever links stop working, if I switch identities in OE, they
begin to
work again, and continue to work for the remainder of the session
as a rule. After idling for awhile though, when I come back and
restart OE (or have left it running but blocked acess via
firewal), they no longer work.
XP Pro SP2+, Norton, ZA, Spybot, Adaware, WinPatrol, all updated
and all show no problems.
Last "danger" found was a tracking cookie, TAC 3, by Adaware, I
think it was. Removed same.

Solution:
I'm hoping someone here might have something to put on this
line<g>.

I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that this might be a
system problem, not specifically an IE/OE problem. So now I'm
looking at logs and any apps that might be having problems of any
kind. So far all OK.

Any thoughts in any direction? I'm wide open for ideas.

Oh, this problem was present nearly a month ago when, for other
reasons, I deleted the boot partition, recreated, formatted,
etc., and reinstalled OS and all apps from CDs. Then 3rd party
stuff was all re-downloaded. Only data was pulled from archive:
The idea was to be as sure as reasonable that I didn't reinstall
anything with a problem from backup.
Everything else was fixed, but no help for this described
problem.

TIA,

Pop
