Can not open some links with IE8

I have recently noticed that I can not open some links with IE8. I am running
XP. In particular this seems to happen when I try to open succesive links
that are within the same website . I can open several and then 4 or 5 links
into a website search I get a blank page with no info with the task bar
indicating Done. Any help would be appreciated.

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3) when posting to
this newsgroup.

1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE in No Add-ons mode:

=> Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without
Add-ons; or

=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?

3. 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?

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