Can't open new window or tab in IE8 32 bit?

I found this support community just today, while looking for an answe
to a similar problem I have. At least I think it may be similar. I a
not a tech expert, so I apologize if I'm way off base. I have Window
XP, 32 bit, but IE 7, not 8. But, I also recently installed (and canno
uninstall) microsoft security essentials.

Even more recently, I have had difficulty, or am flat-out unable t
open search results or links provided by emails. I also experience th
same kind of results expressed here--clicking may result in
never-ending attempt to connect (no help from refreshing) or no respons
at all, and am not helped trying to right click open a new window (
should mention that my problems relate largely to regular left doubl
clicks, just trying to open something or go to a site, but I have trie
the right click/open window unsuccessfully in trying to get around th
general problem).

This latest problem is very frustrating and has pulled me off of m
efforts to uninstall MSE. I've gotten one set of directions t
uninstall manually from Microsoft that I've had no luck with, but pla
to try again. The second set of directions sent to me by Microsoft sen
me to a range of uninstall tools for other security programs that I'v
had in the past and thought were totally uninstalled--I think I've use
every one at some time. As of last night using these tools has no
changed anything either.

Bottom line, I'm sad to read no one has a fix for the main problem her
(I think it might well help me if there were). I now wonder, however
if the problem is a MSI, 32 bit problem, rather than an IE, 32 bi
problem? Any thoughts? Thanks for listening; it helps to vent

I guess when you found this you didn't read the title - "64bit"

This group is for Windows 64-bit. You need to go to one of the Windows
XP groups. Try the ones below for starters:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support
