IE 6 problem. Please help

After installing SP1 on WinXP Pro, and all the security updates I just came upon a very weird situation: whenever I right-click a link and select the "Open in new window" command, a new window appeares, but on the address bar there is nothing, and it appeares as if it tries to open the page, but that never happens. if I press ESC, the address appeares in the address link (bar) and I can see the page if I press the refresh button.

This abnormal behaviour also happens when I click on a link in the Outlook Express

I have eDonkey installed, as well as some other programs that came with some adware software, but I was using them for a couple of months before and everything was just OK.

I can open any web page in the normal way, by typing the address, or by left-clicking a link.

Please tell me how can I get the IE6 back in working condition. (the OPEN IN NEW WINDOW stuff).

Unfortunately it didn't solve this issue.

Do you have all the Internet Explorer updates from Windows Update installed?

Yes, I've installed them all.
