IE8 new tab stucks on "Connecting ..."

Hi there!
I have Windows Vista SP1 64 bit, IE8 final, and when I hit right click on a
link from the first page and try to select "Open in a new tab", the new tab
is opening but with a blank page, and that tab stucks on connecting.
If I select "Open link in a new page" nothing happens.

Any ideeas?
Thanks in advance.

Sergiu.

From a Command prompt:

regsvr32 actxprxy.dll | [OK]

YW & thanks for your feedback. Now, why was that necessary?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed, is your
subscription current, and is it supported in IE8? What anti-spyware
applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?
Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed
IE8?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?
