Cannot open links in IE 8 in a new Tab
I have recently upgraded to a new PC Running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
When using IE8 I cannot open a link in a new tab.
I tried to open a thread on the main forum page by right click on link and click 'Open in new Tab'. All I get is a new tab with 'connecting' in the tab heading and a blank page. This indicitive of the problem as it started well before I entered this forum
This happens whenever I try to open a link in a new Tab ( or window). The main problem this causes is where a site opens a new page when you attempt to login.
I originally thought the problem was with the popup bloker but I get the same result with it turned off.
My wife is giving me considerable grief as she uses IE and I use Firefox. She cannot login in to her credit card site and has to use firefox to login.
Sometimes I get a message error on page but cannot get any information on what the error is. I got a new computer at the same time for another family member. It is running Win 7 Home Premium 32 bit, and everything works ok on that
I hope that the problem is not due to having 64 bit Win 7
Has anyone got any ideas of what to check next as I have run out of ideas
Thanks
