why is it that when i click on certain links such as [www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/staind/outside.html](http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/staind/outside.html) and [http://iselector.rcsworks.com/wkzq-fm/launchplayer.htm](http://iselector.rcsworks.com/wkzq-fm/launchplayer.htm), a window comes up blank and i can’t close it and end up having to close AOL with CTRL+ALT+DELETE, but it doesn’t happen if i copy and paste the link? this doen’t happen when i use netscape, and it happened with both AOL 7.0 and 8.0.
