Bronz Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Don't use IE. All your problems fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Have you run windows update? Could easily be a fix for this. I also googled it, didn't spot a solution on the first page. Or alternatively, choose from Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Safari. I recommend Opera for normal browsing, I loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTrialSpaz Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Make sure the function key on the laptop hasn't been pressed or that anything like sticky keys is on. In FF you can open a new link by holding shift and clicking, so I assume IE8 isn't much different. Or are you trying to open a new tab? there should be an option that opens new tabs as windows/new windows as tabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 It's so often said, but just change from IE8 if you want hassle free, fast browing. Chrome is my browser of choice - www.getchrome.com I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
