HI there
I am running Windows 98 SE   I have had reason to format the hard drive only yesterday due to major problems.
I am now up and running etc.  However l have discovered the following problem and cant seem to SORT it.

I cant seem to access external links from web PAGES.
If  l click on a link within a web page, the second window opens etc, however it remains totaly blank, the external site addy doesnt even appear in the address bar. it just opens blank.

I have also noticed that if l clck on a link within an email on my outlook express, it will not open, not even a new window etc.

I have turned off pop up blocker etc, however still no joy.

If you could help l would really appriciate it

Many thanks in advance

BenI have windows XP and I'm having exactly the same problem as Malecio with yahoo.  And buttons from some other pages don't work.  Also, when I try to use the Search option from the start button a window pops up and the dog is there but there are no search options.

This might have something to do with it, but here's what I was doing before it happened:
Around that time I had just recently downloaded the new Service Pack and Microsoft Spyware Program Beta.  I also have Adaware 6.0 and Norton Antivirus.  I think I was doing a scan with one of the first two programs and a window popped up saying that something happened with Norton Antivirus so it needed to be reinstalled.  So I stopped the scan and I uninstalled Norton.  However, when the computer restarted to finish the job, my adaware 6 popped up mentioning Samantec and a change to a registry value .  I accidentally clicked the button to block it and everytime I started the computer afterwards I got a script error.  I did something to try and remedy it and the popup stopped coming up, but I still have the problems I've stated.

I think Ben's remedy might work but I just want to make sure b/c I've messed around with the computer too much already.Just tried to do system restore too and when I click on the icon, NOTHING COMES up.
