Try holding down the control key when you click on the link. The
built in popup blocker supplied with Windows XP SP2 may be
blocking the site. You can turn it off completely by going to
Start -> Control Panel - > Internet Options and selecting the
Privacy page. Toward the bottom uncheck Block Pop up ads. You can
also turn if off for selected sites.

Hi,

If SP2 is installed on XP you will have Pop-up blocking.
In Internet Explorer go to Tools - Pop-up Blocker and either turn it
off or adjust it's settings.
