Can't open links that open in new window with SP2

[Bryan S Davis]

Greetings,

I have XP with SP 2 and all the hotfixes. From several sites I can't click
on a button or link that opens a new Window without the new window opening
and being blank and never showing any information (MGMCasino.com, FedEx.com,
ESPN.com, Microsoft.com even -when I tried to enter this newsgroup and make a
new post I got a blank pop-up screen).

I have disabled the WinXP firewall.
I have disabled my personal virus protection tool (Trend PC Cillin 2004).
I have gone through the IE security settings and enabled everything or set
everything to prompt -except that I disabled my pop-up blocker.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Bryan

Try disabling the popupblocker in SP2

To do so

Go to the Tools menu in Internet Explorer. In the Popup Blocker section
choose Disable Popup Blocker

To see picture click the following link
