annoying IE problem at work, click a link - nothing happens. Right click/open in new window - nothing happens.

No popup blockers running, IE6 and I've even tried reregistering serveral DLLs as advised on the MSKB (URLMON.dll etc).

Any ideas? driving me up the friggen wall! Not my pc as I'd use Firefox anyway :p

HKEY_LM\SW\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPrefix

Maybe try checking the above keys have http:// in the appropriate entrys, esp under default & 'www'?

Just my 2p.

I had a similar problem and it was because IE wasn't set up as the default web software, when i uninstalled FF it took itself off the default list but nothing went back on, so IE couldn't open any hyperlinks.
