I installed IE7 Beta 2 and found out that it crashes all the time...
so I un-installed IE7.
And now IE6 blocks every link to a new windows (every thing is pop-up
blocked).
I have no way to enable pop-up.
I tried to reinstall IE6, but it won't let me... telling me that I have a
newer version installed.
I really need help..
to post this question I had to use Firefox.... with IE6 I was unable even to
select the new post icon.
Thanks
Robert

There's nothing in IE7 Beta2 which would make it "crash all the time." I
suggest that you got infected with hijackware around the same time you
installed IE7 Beta2. Returning to IE6 or even repairing/reinstalling it
won't help: Hijackware infects Windows, not IE.

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

Dont know if you have resolved this issue or not. If you go to Tools->
options and reset or set to default every setting under every tab, it
should solve the problem.

I tried everything.
I created a new user and initially it worked fine (IE7).
but when I open new tags... it crashes.
I am clueless....
