Have a couple of things to try.
For WinMe on down do this:
Go to your advance tab in your "internet properties" and check the box
that says.
"Open in new window"
I found that XP do not have this option so I found a couple of others
for xp:
Option 1
*New Window is blank & Script Errors*
When you click a hyperlink in a webpage or email link, nothing happens.
Or, a blank browser Window opens.
*First, disable all pop-up killers if you have installed any. If this
does not help, see:*
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=281679
Abstract of that article follows:
*For Windows 2000/XP: Login as Administrator or an account with Admin
Privileges*
1. Click [Start] [Run] type: (Press Enter after each command)
Regsvr32 /i urlmon
Regsvr32 /i shdocvw
Regsvr32 /i mshtml
Regsvr32 oleaut32
Regsvr32 actxprxy
2. Restart Windows
3. Open IE [Tools] [Internet Options] [Programs] [Reset Web Settings]
If this does not solve the problem, run IEFix. To automate the process,
I've written a tiny utility. "IE New Window Blank & Script Error Fix"
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/utils/IEFix.exe
[IEFix automates the DLL registration, initiates SFC /Scannow [for
Win2000/XP] and reinstalls Internet Explorer using the Inf method.]
Option 2:
From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm
Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.
"Application used to perform this action" should read:
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the
double quotes.)
DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:
#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)
#4
WWW_OpenURL
URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.
Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.
If that doesn't fix it, go to Start | Run and type
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
Here is a good page for common problems in I.E.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
