Hi Michael - Try this (Trust me - I did understand that you're talking about
OE ).

Go to Start|Run and enter "regsvr32 /i urlmon.dll" (without the quotes).
After you get a Success message, re-boot. If that doesn't work, then check
out the following article and do the additional steps outlined there:

You Cannot Open New Internet Explorer Window or Nothing Happens After You
Click a Link
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q281679

Also see these articles: http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers/27.html
and, Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 may display a blank Web page
after you select Auto-Select encoding http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870863

If you're on XP your can try MVP Ramesh's .reg fix here which sometimes can
help:

Had the same problem this morning and fixed it by clearing browser cache as
suggested in this NG. Not sure why that worked but it did.

The date of your original post correlates with a MS security patch that
has caused problems, you may have noted the posts of Au79 bringing
our attention to this issue. Here is the MS KB article:
