since switching to ntl broadband, using i/explorer,if i click on a link it wont work unless i right click and open in another window,this is fine until it comes to e bay,if i sell anything or get asked a question when i click on the RESPOND button nothing happens,if i right click it i only get delete or undo options etc,so i cant do anything with it,how the hell do i respond! anybody have any ideas on this please?

 

someone must have an idea?

 

I couldnt log in to secure parts of ebay or onto xrtwo.com (a problem experienced by loads of us in the nttingham/derby area using ntl) so i now use a proxy server to connect and also mozilla firefox although since i switched to the proxy ie is also fine.

 

would i have to alter e-mail adress if i used this?

 

i had this problem too, turned out to be a virus that had stopped IE working the way it was supposed to, even after installed norton internet security it still didnt work,

so i backed up my docs, nuked the hdd and reinstalled windows with the forst program after that being norton, since then everyting ok dokey.

 

i had teh same problem a while back, pretty sure it was microsofts built in pop up blocker or firewall . have a look at the settings or turn it off.

 

Good old NT Hell

What differences are there between firefox and ie then ? Any chance of some screen shots ?

 

thanks,ill have a look at the pop up blocker

 

the problem will be firewall or pop blocker related. I have ntl here and on this pc i have trouble at times with ebay. However on my laptop which is pre service pack 2 xp on it, ebay works fine using same ntl conntection.
