some website links cause the opening of a blank page

Hi everyone

On a large number of occasions when I click on a link on a website , ie opens a blank page caption.
I found that the only way to get to the link you require is to right click on the mouse and click
on copy link and put that in the browser.

That is not the obvious way it should work.

Have done some research on the net for a solution, but so far I am stuck with the problem.

Any comments very welcome.

Hello Maxie

Thanks for the welcome

Using IE9
No add ons
have not tried other browers
the link to the forum in the e-mail from the forum did not work, caused a blank page.
all links on google drive cause blank pages
just about every other link

cheers,

Hi Fred and welcome to SevenForums,
If you have Internet explorer pinned to your taskbar right click it and click on Start In-Private browsing,
You can also open ie and use Alt+TI or Menubar/ Tools/ In-Private browsing,
See if that makes any difference,
Cheers.

ps thanks for the welcome

Thanks everyone for their help !

In the end , a friend of mine , a qualified MS Technician fixed it .Unbeknown to me I had caught a number of viruses , so he cleaned the laptop up . Things are going fine now. He told me not to use clean up programs as c clean by Piriform , he felt that they don't do much.

Have a great weekend and thanks again guys,
