When I go to open pictures or links on certain pages I get a red stop sign with a hand in the middle of it and will not open the item. Any suggestions. Thanks

Is this a new problem? Were things working OK previously? Any new hardware and or software?

You must have some program running: some kind of blocker. Have you recently installed anything?

If not what is your Operating System? If XP try a System Restore:


start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

Try holding in the ctrl key while clicking on the links. Do they open now? If so it's a popup blocker causing this issue.
