Windows XP, IE 7
When I click on let's say an advertisement in a web page that I would like
more information on, nothing happens. IE 7 used to open a new window for the
web page, but now I click and nothing happens. I can right click and choose
"open a new window", and IE 7 will go ahead and do it, but I would prefer to
just left click and have the new web page open (which is what it used to do).

Are you clicking on a click-able area of the window? (How to tell: The
mouse pointer changes to a hand.)

I will resist the urge to say duhhh. I might (not sure yet) have figured it
out on my own. I was browsing around IE settings and changed the pop up
blocker from High to Medium. I am kind of surprised that the pop up blocker
would also block me from clicking on something that would open a new web
page, but it appears that is what it is doing.
