* If I click a link from favorites then IE opens it in a new
window.after a short pause
* If I click a link on the Links bar then IE opens it in a new window
after a short pause
* If I click a link on a web page that is meant to open a new window,
IE opens two new windows, one blank, the second with the target content
in, again after a short pause.
* If I type or select an address from the address bar IE opens it in a
new window.after a short pause
I have googled this for a while, but have found no solution.
Anyone know how to repair this?

all links like company.com/a.html company.com/b.html etc. work as usual. But
if you manually type in like http://www.google.com IE opens a second (empty
window) and a new window with google.com in it.
I have REMOVED the patches but the behavior did not change. This is an
aboslute shame as IE becomes absolutely useless with this.
Can anyone please resolve this (maybe at Microsoft) and let us know?
Best regards

Do you have any toolbars or helper objects installed? I don't see this
behaviour with my IE after the patch, also XP SP2 fully patched. However, I
don't run any third party toolbars (eg. Google). It's possible that
something has changed in the handling of add-ins in IE that causes one of
them to start opening new windows.

I had the following three installed:
* KB910437
* KB908521
* KB905915
Regards,

I had to uninstall *all* 3 of these to correct the issue.

I'd suspect one of those then.

I did have one other sympton not mentioned, the smaller/2nd window that
IE would open, well I got (max count) 72 of these in about 2 seconds,
which really had me thinking virus/malware!
Now, interesting thing is that at work I have Win XP Pro (patch applied
and no problems) and at home I have Win XP Home Edition (problem exists
there).
I will definitely try what you are suggesting.
Thanks.

I uninstalled the last security update of Dec 14th or 15th, and that solves
the issue for now.
I am also running XPSP2PRO and IE6, I copy the other problems you described
as well.

Has anyone found the solution? Is Microsoft listening?
For everyone who haven't seen it yet. The problem is related to a side by
side installation of Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1. See
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/12/16/504864.aspx
The fix took care of my problem

THANK YOU. Completely forgot I had tried out (and stopped using as
Favorites/Links did not work) IE7 Beta in "unsupported" mode. Removed the
key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{c90250f3-4d7d-4991-9b69-a5c5bc1c2ae6} and it
worked fine. Thank goodness that there are people out there to help. Cheers
