[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ IE problem

ok, im running IE 6, and only recently for no apparent reason, it has stopped loading new windows. It just sits there blank, apparently loading, but getting nowhere. Mostly this occurs with java pop-ups, just as the 'My Assistant' we have here on the forums, but also it has started happening when i Ctrl-N to open a new window, etc etc etc.

Anyone know what is going on?

yes, but only if it is a new window. Most JS pop-ups are chromless, and so i just cant view them in IE as they do not offer a refresh option until after they load.

nope, and i dont think it is even related to my firewall. i can browse sites and their pop-ups fine, and load everything in Opera, but IE will not load JS pop-ups.


ok guys, for example, underneath the 'fast reply' box is a link called 'show smilies pop up window'.

if i click that, the window pops up, but all i get is white, and my cursor is the funky hourglass for loading. but thats it. no matter how long i leave it, it will not load.

if i attempt the same in Opera, it all works fine. So, im guessing the problem is to do with IE as an application, more than likely specific to a JS plugin, but i cant work out what or where to look... :(
