Cannot open links/Pdfs/popups 2

[kopja]

Hello everyone.
We got in some new Dell PCs that come with Win7Pro 64 bit (OEM) and IE9.
Everything works fine, except Internet explorer does not open links or PDf or anything that requires a new tab.
So, say I am on google, search for something, and
- when I click on any of the results, I can open them fine (in the same window/tab).
- But if I do a right-click, and say open in new tab, a blank tab opens (nothing on it).
- If I right-click, and say open in new window, nothing happens at all.

Several intranet pages similarly have problems, I cannot click on any links that open PDFs/zip/docs or anything else. I can always right-click and choose "save target" but that is not ideal.

I tried lowering the settings all the way to Low, still nothing. Tried compatibility mode, still nothing.
I uninstalled IE9 (which leaves me with IE8), but still the same issue.

I tried registering urlmon.dll and other DLLs as indicated in

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281679

but still the same problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I found the answer on a Microsoft Forum.

I had to run the script from this website, worked just fine and solved the issue.
