I've recently started using W7 and I use I8. Some of the webpage links just wont work for me. For instance if I go to overclockers homepage and click forum, literally nothing happens. I have this with a few other sites as well.

If I use a direct link to the forum it works fine.

Any ideas?
 
has the page opened in another tab?

No tabbed browsing is disabled.

I'm also getting "Server Error in '/' Application" when clicking some google search links, both in IE and firefox.

I'd prefer to keep using IE rather than Firefox, I should have said that earlier :)
 
Just tried resetting everything, still no joy and when I click the ocul logo at the top of this page that doesn't work either.

Basically this is the first day I've used win 7 in anger due to other issues.
 
My mistake it doesn't work. I can make the links work if I use I8 64 bit but then I cannot see embedded flash like youtube videos etc.

I guess I will just have to start using firefox until they get a flash pluggin for IE8 64 bit.
 
Will vanilla ie8 not make the links work for you now?

Never heard of that I will look into it.

Dont use IE6 64 bit, it does not work with flash, use the 32 bit version and it should be fine.

My problem is if I use the 32 bit version I cannot click any links. If you posted a link to a bbc website nothing happens, I've tried this on multiple forums and no links work. Also things like the ocuk link to the shop above doesn't work.

This all works fine in 64 bit apart from stuff that requires a 64 bit flash plug in :(

Firefox works fine but I don't like the layout and find the whole look messy.
