Had a search for this but couldn't find anything. There was something closely related to it but not exactly.

Anyway, this is my problem: i can not display web pages in a new window.

so for instance if you go to http://www.aapracingandsports.com.au/racing/index.asp you'll notice all news articles open in a new smaller window. What happens when i click these links is the computer freezes for 5-10 secs than just carries on as if i never pressed anything in the first place.

The same also occurs if i right click a link and press "open in new window". The comp. freezes for 5-10 secs than simply continues as if i never did a thing.

Also annoyingly if i recieve an e-mail which contains an internet link, i'll click on the link and the same occurs - the comp. freezes than carries on as if i never did a thing.

I have stopped all pop up blockers, and i have downloaded Registry Mechanic to see if it's something in there.

This is extremely annoying as a lot of web-sites i use on a frequent basis (like the one above) have links which open in new windows and i just simply can not open a link in a new window at the moment automatically or manually.

It sound likes your pc has spyware on it. Reason? You got delay because spyware is trying to log on your internet activities. I suggest you scan for spyware and virus as well
