Looking for some direction because I am out of ideas. One PC in the office has started to experience a strange issue with Internet Explorer. When a link is clicked on a site that calls for a new browser window (not a tab) to open, the browser just sits there with no hour glass or any indication that something is happening. To make the new window appear I have to actually do something to the home window like minimize or click and move it on the screen. This is happening on a PC running XP Sp3 and everything was fine about a week ago. Then this started happening. IE8 was loaded and I thought that may be some part of the issue since resetting the defaults didn’t help. I removed 8 and restarted 7 with no other result. The tab control in tools is set to default. And I did a reset to defaults with 7 after it was reloaded. Can anyone offer any thoughts or direction? Thanks - mpp

I would check out the tab options in your Internet browser. Changing some of those features may help your problem. In IE8 just go to the top and click on tools > Internet options. In that window under the general tab click on tab settings.

Thanks for the post but unfortunately this forums is dedicated to Windows server related issues so please do post in the internet explorer deicated forums where the experts sits to solve the issues related to internet explorer http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/ieitpropriorver/threadshttp://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin
