Whenever I press like shift and then click on a link to get it into another window, like the window pops up but its blank. And then when I goto websites with pop up windows or ads, it does the same thing...blank. IT just started doin this when I got XP Professional. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or better yet know of any more patches or anything I can get for XP Pro generally to help it run better?

I had this problem and somebody helped me fix it. I'll go find the thread and link it right now....

Here's the thread

And here are the specific instructions that I followed wich fixed it for me:



<< Click on Start | Run and enter: "REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL" (sans quotes). You should then have a dialog tell you that the procedure was completed. Next, fire up Microsoft's Web Browser (IE) and Click Tools | Internet Options | Programs | then click the "Reset Web Settings" button. Now, check to see if Web links work like they should in your e-mail client. With any luck, you'll have returned your system to normal. >>
