Hello, I have an Acer laptop. This has been an annoying problem SINCE day one. It has Windows 7 and I am using the latest I.E. When I am on some websites and I click on a video link a new window will open. I can hear the video, but I cannot see it. All I have to do is minimize and then maximize the window and the video is there now. This also happens for instance when I see a picture of a baked item. When I click on it to get the ACTUAL recipe the new window will open. I cannot see the recipe nor can I scroll up or down the page, It seems frozen. Minimizing and maximizing the window cures all this. Any help would be much appreciated. Not that it will solve the IE issue but i suggest that you try another browser.My personal favorite is Opera.This will help to determine if your issue is with the IE browser or with the operating system.

let us know the result when you can.truenorthI agree you might want to try a different browser such as Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, etc.

But please forgive a silly question (I'm sorry, we never know the level of knowledge of folks with whom we are speaking) - When you SAY a new "Window" opens do you mean a second instance of IE or a new tab? If it's actually a new Window you should change the options to open a new tab rather than a new window when you click on a link.Quote
