New Window Freezes

[big al 515]

Hi lads

 

A relative of mine has a Windows 98 pc which runs ok apart from in Internet Explorer if you click on a link which means opening a new window, the second window starts to open but remains translucent and seems to just freeze and nothing happens. The original window is still ok and closing the frozen window you can just carry on.

 

I tried adjusting in the Advanced options to allow or disallow reusing the current window for opening a new one but made no difference.

 

Any ideas, because on some websites it is essential to be able to open new windows?

 

Thanks
