Favorites won't open IE

I'm running with XP SP1 Home. At one time I was able to click on programs, favorites and then select the favorite site I wanted and IE would open and I would be taken to that site. Something happened and now when I do that the favorites just close and IE does not open.

Is there a setting somewhere that I may have accidently changed? Maybe a MS update got me? Don't know how I got here but I have arrived.....

 

The MS KB article, You Cannot Open New Internet Explorer Window or Nothing Happens After You Click a Link, should have the fix for you (a favorites entry is a "link ").

 

Fixed!

Miz, thank you so much for the help. I printed the article and followed the directions and it worked the first time. I don't know why I can't find these articles in the MS data base. I must be left minded

Thanks!

 

Glad you got it sorted out and thanks for posting back to let us know.

Yeah, the MS search can be a bear to use. It seems to do best if you can get your search terms down to as few key words as possible (less than 6) and select "All of the words entered" in the drop-down menu. You have to know their language, too. They do like to use their own Geeky Terms. I'm still learning those.
