W2k SP2 IE6 Popup window problem
So I have a very interesting problem on a windows 2000 computer: Initially, with all of the latest updates, the machine worked perfectly. Then I installed the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK, latest version) to build a custom IE6 installation for internal use.
So I have a very interesting problem on a windows 2000 computer:

Now users have the problem of every time a popup window opens, nothing happens. They can close the window, but nothing ever appears. This also happens when they try to click on links that open new windows (and thus the users are quite angry). I have triplicate checked all IE security settings, etc., and none of that has been messed up.
I then tried reinstalling the IEAK, but the problem didn't disappear.
Unfortunately, a reinstall/reformat is not an option for this system, so any suggestions would be appreciated!
Oh, and the system all updates as of 4/16/02 before this starting happening...

Have you tried repairing the IE6 installation (under the IE option in Add/Remove Programs)?
Yep, that worked. Thanks!
No problem, glad to help.
