Did you see Mike's reply? He suggested that a pop-up blocker may be the
cause. Disable any you may have.

You can also try reregistering these .dlls:

Start Run type, or Copy/Paste, these in one at a time and try again.
(Note the space in each command).

regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll

In IE, go to: ToolsInternet OptionsPrograms. Click: Reset Web
Settings - (uncheck box for homepage) - Click Yes.

Again, I go through the procedure that you gave and it solves the problem
but
after I closed my computer down and restarted it, the same thing happens
again. It will not open the link without holding down the control button
and
clicking on the link.

Is your question about links also? Did you try the fix I gave to
Sonnyc33?
That said, McAfee can cause numerous problems with OE, but I'm not sure
about this one.

Hello,
I am wondering something about this. The computer is running McAfee
Anti-virus and Spamkiller. Could the running of Spamkiller be partly
the
cause? Also, the computer does not have Spybot on it.

Thank you so much!

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to {NONE} URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" should read:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use
the
double quotes.)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.
