nickster Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Whenever I right click a link and select 'Open in new tab', a new tab is activated, the tab itself says "Connecting", but the title bar shows the address of the page on the other tab (the one I linked from), and no page content comes into my browser (I.E. 7.0.5730.11). just white spaceRight before this anomaly started occuring, I ran a couple "clean up" utilities I got from CNET (don't remember which ones). I have uninstalled them, and don't want to use a system restore point since this is the only problem I have noticed. I didn't see a setting on the advanced tab of IE options, but I might not have recognized it from the text listed.What should I do to get tabs to be processed correctly? Thank you.

Dencandy Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Do you see a little wheel turning in the tab? If yes, click on the tab a second time to go to the page. Also have you updated to the new version of IE7? there were some bugs in the first version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
