IE6 Won't Open New Windows (REVISITED) (W2K)

[Ashley_Dennison]

I'm running IE 6.0.2600 on Windows 2000 Professional. I installed the Visual Studio.net Pro pack and afterwards I get the Open in New Window bug, but registering the urlmon dll didnt fix it. (I also tried deinstalling visual studio and that didn't fix it either. This bug also affects popup windows that are called by javascript.

Any ideas?
Ashley.

P.S. I accidentally posted this question in the win98 forum by mistake.

Ashley -

Are you getting the bug where IE6 will refuse to open any new window or sub-window other than the main one? (Not just launch it as blank like with the urlmon.dll issue, but flat out not launch it at all.) If so, it may be misset DCOM launch permissions in Win2K believe it or not. I had the same thing on 2 Win2K pro machines here. Sorting the DCOM permissions with dcomcnfg.exe fixed it.

If that is the issue you are seeing, let me know. I'll point you to the fix I used for it.

Yeah. It wont open any new window instance from javascript or from the right click menu. It will open a new window from the File | New option.

Do you have a Pop up Stopper installed? If so, disable it and see if that helps.

Ashley-

Q article 299702 in the MS db is the one I used - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q299702

We'd been having problems w/Office launching on an unrelated machine was how I stumbled across it. Read the page and realized this might fix the IE 6 new window launching I was seeing on another machine. It did the trick.
