Default Aaargrggg help! IE problems

Hi,

I am using IE version 6 and every time I click a link that opens another window my browser freezes afor a min before allowing me to use it again.

e.g

If I click any of these pics it does it.

I have read a few things about it on the net but there seems very few fixes.

I have never had a problem with IE before, why would I want to change.

Rather like having a problem with a completely relaible car - and you telling me to change it as I have had one fault after 5 years!

Dave,
Just tried it on my IE6 PC here and it seems to work fine for me.

Have you tried any other sites with JS that opens other windows? do they do the same? Do other pages on your site do the same?

It does it if I click a link form a google search.

Basically anything that would open a new window.

If I copy the link and past it in the address bar then thats fine.

The page is not the problem - the fact I can not click on pop up links IS the problem.

Which links?

If you mean the motorsickle pics, then they are Java. Make sure that you have Java installed & active.
