Yes, any URL that clicking on results in a new window opening up. It
doesn't seem to have to involve Java directly although JavaScript is often
involved. It doesn't have anything to do with applets and as I said later,
opening a link within an email message doesn't work either and it can take
up to 5 mins just to open the browser in the first place.

The problem started after I reinstalled XP and then installed the full J2SE
JDK. However, I have since determined that it is only related to the JRE
component so this may be the plugin that you refer to. If I install the
full JDK and then uninstall just the JRE component everything works again.
This is how I am running at the moment as I require the JDK for development.
I also require Java in the browser so I need to get this working.

We are talking about installing the full JDK but, as I said, it seems to be
just the plugin component that is the problem. It completely breaks IE; it
becomes unusable. I have never seen this behaviour before, only since
reinstalling XP. I am absolutely certain 100% that Java is the culprit here
or at least the installation of the JRE. I have had this working on XP SP2
before so I simply can't explain it.
