Solve : can't open "links"??

Answer» HI, guys,

Another simple question from a novice. When on a website and it has links, (I think that's what they're called) just like this site has, and you click on them to open the link or go to another website, or whatever,  nothings happens. Is this something to do with my settings as I have looked at all of them and can't see anything relevant.

As an example a local pub has a website and it has keys down the left hand side which say things like : food, menu, about us, events, etc. and when I click on them nothing!  However, when I do this at work they work fine.

A work colleague suggested holding down the control key and clicking but this doesn't work either.

Anyone any ideas please?

TINY   :-?Do you have some sort of pop up blocking software on the problem computer? (I think your friend assumed so, as this technique will work with some of them.) Has it always been this way? If not, when did it start and what has changed?Hi, GX1_MAN

Thank you for responding.

I cannot recall when this STARTED to happen unfortunately. I have AVG, AVAST, Adaware SE, Spybot, CCleaner and ewido on the computer. I have gone into tools, pop-up blocker, in IE and it is turned off.  Cannot see anything in the above programmes that allows you to enable or disable pop-up blockers although in my own amateur way I must admit I cannot see what else it can be. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to correct it.

Cheers, TINYReset ALL of IE to the defaults.tell me more about your puter. hows your RAM. what CPU. what OS. check how much stuff is using your RAM. dialup or other. it should RESPOND better if you have a fairly new system with plenty of RAM.Fed,

Will do as you suggest.

jimfb,

System is : 2.8 AMD, 160gigHDD, 512 memory, Windows XP Pro. 1meg Broadband.  Don't think my system spec. is a problem as some links work and some don't.  What I don't know is how the ones that work differ from the ones that don't!
