| | Can't open new links in IE I haven't installed anything new on my PC in months - Windows updates apart. When my PC is freshly booted, I can open IE8 and open new tabs etc After about an hour, IE will open a new tab, but no content is displayed - the little circle at the top of the tab just goes round forever. If I open a new session of IE8 - then I can open the web-page without problem. But, after another hour or so even a new instance of IE will not open any webpage at all and my only option is to re-boot Frustrating having to re-boot every hour! I thought it may be my PC Tools (free) anti-virus for Vista and changed to AVG, but it has made no difference. Any ideas please? Thanks Pete |

| | Re: Can't open new links in IE Thanks very much! Worked a treat! Not a very helpful Helper! Are there any disadvantages disabling this add-on?
