Installed Flash but popups now crash
 

I was at a site yesterday and got a dialog 'install Macromedia
Flash?' I clicked yes and within moments, without any other
messages, the flash menu in the page started working OK. I was a
little surprised how quickly it installed.

Now today I find that ordinary popups don't work. I get a new
window but it just captures whatever desktop is behind it and
doesn't update and an hourglass remains permanently. This also
happens also if I Ctrl+Shift+Left mouse click on a link to open
it in a new window. Just selecting NEW from the file menu
correctly duplicates the current window.

I am using Win98 1st edition, Internet Explorer 6. Any ideas how
I can repair this?

Thanks, I'll check these out.

Hey! Some useful info on your site and written very clearly
which makes a change from some sites I've visited. Though I
reckon you might change your sig to 'Basic Windows maintenance'
as 'Basic computer maintenance' sounds a bit like hardware?

Whereas 'Basic Windows Maintenance' sounds like an
advert for a double glazing firm? <g>
