I've got a strange one going on on my x64 machine. Within my tabbed pages, when I click on a link, they're highlighted but won't open. When I right click on the link and select "Open," it opens just fine. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

You could try to set default programs via the 4th option "...computer defaults" and spcifically say "Internet Explorer". If that doesn't work try a reset (Tools/Internet Optons/Advanced/Reset...)

I found it! I went to Tools>Internet Options>Privact Tab>Pop Up Blocker Setting. I simply added the tabbed website address and all was well again.

Thanks for your replies!

Mike
