more an internet explorer question

[dynamic_sysop]

hi this may not quite be a .net ? but maybe someone has an answer.
when i'm navigating any site and click on a link to open in a new window ( eg: if someone posts a thread on this board and you click it , it opens up in a new window ) nothing happens :-\ , since i rebooted a few days ago i click a link and i just stay sat on the page i'm on , the link wont open in a new window ( or the same window ) , so far i've tried rebooting many times , i've updated any needed xp files ( i'm on xp home edition ) i've tried resetting all my ie settings and security settings but i'm completely baffled.
maybe someone knows of a problem with ie and a fix?
cheers.

I've had this happen to me before, the open in new window function just doesn't work at all. I can't remember what I did to fix it, but I remember the answer was in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
