That could just be postponing whatever it is that is causing it,
e.g. something such as AVG's LinkScan "feechur".

You could check to see which connections are hanging around
too long (and thus causing a blockage) with netstat (in a cmd window):

netstat /abnop TCP

Don't you want to share details of the fix with other readers on
this newsgroup?

Seeking and sharing information should be primary functions of
any newsgroup.

But apparently not with readers of this newsgroup :-)

There are three computers here running 2 copies of Win 7 64-bit and one
copy of Vista 64 (all are Home Premium).

IE8 on one of the Win 7 computers will not open a URL in a new tab.

I tried reinstalling IE8, running without add-ons, the cmd script
mentioned in this thread (which I had found elsewhere much earlier),
SFC, chkdsk, and a few other things that I've already forgotten, all to
no avail. I did a system checkpoint before all of this and restored to
that point later out of paranoia - as well as not wanting to be blamed
later for any future problems with that computer :-)

Eventually, something else reminded me this afternoon that there is a
64-bit version of IE8 on the computer. That program works fine on the
tabs.

Go figure.

Sorry to be late to this thread - I just subscribed (because of the
above problem) to this NG today.

See the Answer post by OnyXxL in this thread:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...b-b69b8535a7bb

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?
