Link Failure

kywy (Elite) posted this on Wednesday, 19th February 2003, 01:47

Recently, clicking on any links in Reviewer freeze and the links have to be cancelled. This now happens on other pages/sites as well.
I`m running a small 2 m/c lAN on XP Pro with the newest version 6 of IE Explorer, up to date Norton A/Virus and Firewall 2003 and both adaware 6 and spybot. ISP is telewest broadband
Everything reports clean and an installation of Opera 7 works with no problems,. I can`t find anything about this on Microsoft`s site .
Any suggestions would be most welcome ( as a last resort I`ll reinstall XP as you can`t delete IE Explorer from within)

First thing to try is get rid of anything to do with Norton.

Popup stopper is disabled on Norton, I`ve used surf pal for the last year to control popups with no problems and this version of Norton has been running without problems for the last 3/4 months.
I tried a system restore to several diffferent check points and it refused so I reckon XP has a problem somewhere rather than IE Explorer.
Oh well looks like a reinstall, thanks for all suggestions P.
