1.	Solve : Unable to open link within a webpage on Internet Explorer 8?
Answer» I have a new Dell Studio XPS with windows vista. Here is my problem: I go to MLB.com, I clink on the gameday link or any other link and it does not open. This happens on other webpages also. I have no problems when I am using FireFox. Only on Explorer 8. What is causing this? Please help. Thanks.My first guess WOULD be your internet security settings, or activex or java settings. Do the PAGES that you are trying to view have a lot of animation?Yes....But why do they not affect webpages on firefox? Doesn't the internet security settings apply to both explorer 8 and firefox? Thanks for your reply...Hope you have an answer...I think your problem lies with IE8. Therefore, I'd DOWNGRADE to IE7 if I were you.
