This may sound like a "good" problem to have, but it's not. I have IE 6 on an XP machine, and all of a sudden, my IE will not open any new windows ever. It's almost as if I installed a pop-up blocker, but that's not the case. While it's nice when I visit an ad-clogged website, it SUCKS in other circumstances. For instance, if I'm visiting a site that uses Javascript to display jpg's or something.

I've tried everything I know how to do. I've completely erradicated my copies of Spybot and/or Adaware. I've even removed the google toolbar (the new one has a pop-up blocker that you can enable). Nothing seems to be working.

In a normal case, I would uninstall and reinstall IE. But, with XP........well, you know. Just can't do it. Not that I'm aware of anyway.

Anybody have any good ideas and/or links that may help me?

Thanks in advance!
