    I'm running Windows 98SE with IE5.0 and i'm having a problem with IE.

    As of yesterday when I click on a link contained within any email message to open a new IE window the window is opening but the page doesn't load (regardless of the website address), it just displays a transparent page.

    This also happens when I right click my mouse and select the 'open in a new window' option when browsing in IE.

    Has anybody got any ideas why this problem has suddenly appeared and have any suggestions as to how to solve the problem??

    richtea23 - Welcome to the Board :)

    First off try a repair of IE ....

    Add/Remove Programs > IE > Remove and select the repair option from the dialogue box.

    If that doesn't work look at this thread ....

    BTW - any particular reason why you are using a very outdated version of IE?
    Current version is 6.

    It appears that the above may apply to more than 98SE/IE5.

    I am running XP Pro/IE6.

    Eudora e-mail ( after sorting with Mailwasher. )

    I never click on links in E-mail unless I know where they came from.

    But I do get the quoted problem occasionaly. On rare occasions I have had it happen when clicking on a link from this BBS.

    The IE repair option didn't fix the problem so I followed the above instructions in the thread link Pete C provided and they all succeeded apart from the shell32.dll which produced an error message saying the file could not be found or it was possibly corrupt but it didn't provide any instructions as to how to fix the problem!

    Please can anybody help???
