This may be a long shot, but what version of IE is your friend running? If IE7,
if you are on a link and open a new window, it may be a browser window that you
get to by hitting control+tab, not an operating system window which is another
process altogether, and which you get to by hitting alt+tab.
Sometimes in my experience, when following certain links (and I've never been
able to figure out why), the browser window is stuck behind the stack of
windows rather than in front, so you have to control+tab to get to it.
This also happens with new OS windows -- as the page is loading, it is stuck
behind the current page until it is all there.
Am I making sense? I don't know all the terminology, but this phenomenon
happens to me a lot so thought I'd comment.
Good luck.

Subject: [guispeak] Internet Explorer Problem
I am trying to help someone with his IE settings, and I cannot, for the life
of me, figure out how to make this work.
Here's the situation. This person has his own web site. The site is put up
by a web hoster and it's a good, accessible site. When he tries to access
certain links on his site, the links will not open. They will, however, open
on every other computer we've tried this on. The links he cannot access are
links which open in a new window. I had him right click on the link and he
didn't even get the same context menu I got. There were no items in his menu
referring to opening the link in a new window or tab.
I have checked every browser setting I can think of and I can find nothing to
change.
I would appreciate any input about this problem.
Thanks in advance.
