294047 2004-11-19 22:27:00 Am running Windows XP Home with Norton Antivirus, Sygate Personal Firewall [pre-installed] and XP SP2 installed. From time to time when attempting to access a link from a web page, nothing happens. However when trying at another time, everything operates OK. I have run Spybot, Ad-aware and CW Shredder with nil results. Is this an IE problem,virus problem or one of my settings messing things up. DB4ME (5967)
294048 2004-11-20 02:39:00 Is it doing "nothing" or reporting the site as not found? HadO (796)
294049 2004-11-20 03:03:00 Is it only links? Or does this occasionally happen when typing in URLs?

If it is links only then I think I have it. Make sure that you have the mouse quite still when you click the link. It's just some kind of IE abnormailty, doesn't do it on any other browsers.

HTH, Cheers George

294051 2004-11-20 03:08:00 Hmm.. sounds like the IE fault george12 was on about...

Have you thought of using an alternative browser?
