I have exactly the same problem.
IE 6.0 with SP2 and all updates.
No problems in Firefox or Netscape.

Do you use Ad-Watch?
I had exactly the same problem and tryed hours to solve it. Finally I got
this simple solution: I set "monitoring off" for Ad-Watch and popups work
fine.

Hope it helps to you
