Title: Link Clicking doesn't work
Post by: JackTucky on October 04, 2005, 11:30:40 am: I use mozilla, IE only when necessary.

Starting yesterday, Mozilla makes me click a link 3 or 4 times before it will actually follow the link.

Also, during startup, my home pages icons show up in the tabs, but they are all untitled. I have to reload all of them.

If I click a link and force it to a new window, the URL is blank, and it says done. NOTHING.

I've run Spybot, running adaware now. Virus scan next.

Any other ideas?

Did you reboot?

Sure.

It looks like IE might be affected too. It might be related to my connection?

However, Email works, other TELNET, etc. connections stay up no problem.

Thanks

Did you hit the correct key?

Yes, I pressed the ANY key. I also repeatedly tried to order a "TAB", but nothing.

It might be my connection. At some point, I saw a "web accelerator" message from the fine idiots at direcway.

Make sure to seem as rambling and incoherent as possible. :)
