Maybe some of you know this problem, you open a website in IE, click a link that should open a in a new window and nothing happens.
Or the window opens and it is empty...

I've had this problem and found help on a site i found on google.
if anyone of you has the same or a similar prob: contact me, i can help you out!

did you turn javascript off?

sometimes a javascript is suppose to activate a pop-up window.

no, i didn't change anything as a matter of fact. microsoft admitted that this is a bug that can appear on a random occasion

That's why I upgraded to Opera.

I had this same problem a while back with IE, so I just re-installed it... Worked fine.

re-installing didn't work for others i read, so i din't try. that patch i found did the trick quite well!

and yes, it is!
