I CURRENTLY have Windows XP and use internet explorer v.6 sp1. I also downloaded the latest update for sp1. I used internet explorer fine for a long time, then RECENTLY any web page that opens in a new window doesnt appear. NO text or images. The window appears with nothing in it. There isnt a error either, it just stays white for a long time and then I close it. I dont know what happened. Can someone help me?I too having this kind of problem and I'm using Window Me.  Whenever I try to see a picture or click to a link that have to open to a new window, it will refuse or it will do nothing about it.  I finally solved my dilemma.  Unbeknown to me, I was running Internet Explorer 5, and I updated it to a current version specifically for Window Me; I still have IE version 5, but its been updated to it's current component.  I guess my PREVIOUS IE has a damage or missing component, the reason I couldn't access a new window whenever I click to a link.    Rand Pablo,

Thanks for the update. Maybe something Diego could look out unless other USERS have some additional recommendations.This could be why its happening>http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;555027&Product=winxp 
I havea similar problem. It first occured after I loaded a drop down limiter while running IE 6. Even though I  RELOADED IE 6 the problem persists. If I click on an imbedded URL a small window opens centred on the URL but otherwise nothing.

This means I cannot Use IE and have to use another browser. Any Suggestions for a fix in 98Merlin, thank you for your response. It worked great!! I tried everything, but this actually worked, thanks a lot.
