Pending: Help i can't open a new window

timf0734 · 12-02-2008

Hi and thanks for the help in advance. When doing some maitenance i was clearing some old programs and not sure if I erased something that I needed. When I try to open a new window or click a link, the window opens but all it shows is the hourglass like it is trying to open it but it will never complete. I can open new tabs with link or make new tabs but there is a problem when trying to open another window. For example If i went to yahoo or abc.com and clicked games and another window pops up it wont load and stays a blank window and looke like it is loading with the hourglass but never completes. Can someone give me some tips on how to fix this.
thanks
Tim

well lets start by seeing what all programs you erased ? and also mention any other changes you might have made . also which browser do you use ? I.E. 6 or 7 or firefox or different ? pop up blockers cause that prob alot too. please post back.

Assuming XP:
(sfc = System File Checker restores files to their correct state.)

Go:

Start - Run - (type) sfc /scannow (with the space)(Enter)

This may require you to put in your XP CD.

A system restore to before you deleted some files maybe?

only advise i can give is to try to restore all the programs that could be important for it to work

My operating system is Windows XP and i ran the command that was suggested sfc /scannow and after running it nothing was said about anything being missing. The files i deleted were yahoo and i erased java and direct by mistake but reinstalled them.. This started to happen once i Cleared my internet browser of cookies and history. I am using sbc yahoo internet browser or internet explorer 7.0 and it doesnt matter. Neither one of them works when trying to open another window.

first i would try to uninstall IE 7 then re-install , or maybe even run a virus scan too? but i highly recommend firefox over IE (just my own opinion)
