Open selected link in a new window (W2K)

[kpr0sser]

Hi, I not sure if I'm in the right area or not, my problem is: if I right click on a link, I get the PopupBox with 'Open in New Window', but this fails to work
Any Ideas?
Thanks to all that reply

Hi,

I'm also suffering from the same problem. Links that open new windows simply don't work - the active window (IE browser) becomes deactivated for a split second before becoming the active window again, as if its trying to open a new window, but fails to and reverts back to the main one. I've tried reinstalling Java, resucing security settings, disabling firewall, AV, every suggestion made by folk on other forums... any more possible solutions to the problem?

I read on one forum that a guy solved his problem by buying a new router - but because I don't have one to begin with, I can't see how this can be the problem.

kpr0sser - What is it that doesn't work? Does the new page open in the same window or does a new window open blank?

For me, the new page doesn't open at all.

Did you try Dank's solution above?

You should receive a 'Successful' message afterwards.

I presume you don't have either a pop-up filter or (for instance) Zone Alarm's pop-up filter activated. If you do this could also be the problem.

No, it's still not working. Any more suggestions?
