    Some links don't work

    Sometimes when I click on an arrow or a button to move to a new page, nothing happens. When I force it to open to a new page I get page cannot displayed and a "javascript:nexttime()" in the address bar.

    Two websites are giving me this problem - TV Guide.com and FedEx.com

    I've done the things suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=823301

    In the address bar (next to Address) or in the Status bar at the bottom of the page?
    Anyway, have a look at IE Tools|Internet Options|Security tab|Custom Level|scroll to the Scripting section|Enable "Active Scripting" and "Scripting Java Applets ". Apply|OK|OK
    Try the links again.*
    P.S. How are you trying to reach these pages? A left click or right click|Open in New Window? If the latter, try the former even before trying the above.

    Left click the button - nothing happens
    "javascript:nexttime()" appears in the status bar
    Right click button and tell it to open in a new window and I get the page cannot be displayed with the "javascript:nexttime()" in the address bar.

    Checked everything in the Scripting section, all are enabled.
    I have no popup blocker software installed except what SP2 put there.

    Are you running MS Java or Sun Java - I think some websites will only function correctly with MS Java - no longer included in current builds of XP.

    MS Java and Sun Java will cohabit without any problems on your m/c.

    Is there a problem with running both at the same time?

    I'm fixed

    I fixed it by repairing IE; right click IE.inf file and install :)
