I am running windows2000 with latest patches and fixes. It has happened on several sites with no message just the IE program closing as the hyperlink is confirmed.
I have not changed any settings (to my knowledge). |

although it is against popular opinion i dont like using firefox (not tried opera though). Firefox does not work as well as IE on the websites i use most.
I have re-installed IE 6 and it seems ok now, will let you know if it re-occurs |

ok - this is now iratating - the problem has re-occurred. It is happening on a lottery based site where i need to click on a link to register a prize into my account. (on an machine running XP with IE6 it works) On my home PC it causes the browsing window to close.
I have tried it using Firfox and the same issue occurs... the moment you click on teh link it closes the window. Please advise - I cannot claim my prize... It will not let me open link in a new window either. Thanks |

unfortunately the main offender is a lottery site on one of the instant win games so you will need to log in and win!
I will post the next time it happens on a "normal" site |

It's not embarrasing.
You learn something new every day eh! I'd never have thought it would be a pop-up blocker either. |
