I've had a problem with IE8 and 9 since I switched to W7. For instance if I go to overclockers home page and click the forum link which should open the forums in a new window, nothing happens.

If I right click anything and select open in mew window nothing happens.

If I use the 64 bit version of windows everything works fine but of course I can view any of the videos in the youtube thread etc because of lack of flash support.

Any ideas why I can't open in new window or any links that require a new window to open won't work?

I've been using firefox for a couple of years to get around it but I hate the new FF4 transparency with a passion.

Simple fix. Download Flash for IE9 x64? There is flash support now.

P.S. having read your post properly it sounds like a pop up blocker - might want to check that as well or go to tools / internet options / advanced tab and click reset to reset everything to default.
