Links in threads not working?
Discussion
Hi Guy's,
When I try to open a link in a thread (for example link to an external site) explorer seems to hang, wait a minute, go blank and then return to the page I've just tried to link from.
Is this a site problem or an IE problem??
Edited to Add Think it might be an IE problem as if I try and open a link (from any site!) in a seperate window it does the same and hangs - any ideas??
Cheers
Chris

There is also this one:
www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=167037&f=95&h=0
which links to the solution I used, which is here:

but be careful with the tools you download, as they can do a lot of damage if you delete the wrong thing!

That seems to have sorted it (disabled req.dat).
Does anyone have any info on what this file does?? I'm running upto date anti-virus etc (norton internet security) and have all the latest updates etc - is this some form of malicious crap??
Cheers

Links still not working for me and it takes about 3 mins before the pc will let me do anything and then the page refreshes. Back button seems to be working though. Also i had the applet initializing thing yesterday.
Win 98second edition, normal microsoft browser.
Hope you nail the sucker
ps, i don't seem to be able to preview any of my posts either.
