When I click on a link IE closes.


Question Posted Thursday February 9 2006, 10:29 am

I am using Internet Explore Version 6 on Windows 98. For some reason whenever I click on a link it closes all the other open IE pages. I will rate high!

I did a little research, and so far I haven't found anyone else who has had this problem. But step one would be to make sure that Windows 98 and IE are both fully updated. That's pretty likely to fix the problem all by itself.

Do you have a pop-up blocker installed? Because what you're describing sounds as if it could be a malfunctioning pop-up blocker.

Another very good way to bypass this problem would be to install FireFox and make it your default browser. It's free, and you can get it here: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

By the way, although I despise Microsoft and loathe Bill Gates, I have to tell you that Windows XP is a LOT more stable than 98 - it's much superior, and well worth the money.

I realize that it's expensive, and you DO have to buy it - unlike older versions, it can't be easily copied or pirated - but it's a much better OS, much less buggy.

Good luck.
