Unable To Follow Links by clicking on them

I am using Windows 98 and IE 6.0. Very often I am unable to follow links on the internet. I have to resort to copying the shortcut ( desired web site address ) and pasting this into the webbrowser address window, then hitting GO.

What is causing the problem that nessitates these extra steps? How can this problem be permanently overcome and corrected?

This has been going on for sometime. I have been putting up with it, but the annoyance and growing extra time is cause to seek a permanent solution. There are several other similar problems which I will address seperately, because they may or maynot be related. But together they are causing a significant waste of resources & my time.

I hope that this is the correct forum to seek an appropriate solution. I have never used this before. Please advise me if I have the wrong forum.

Thank you!

You should get an instant answer if you post this in an Internet Explorer 6 forum
instead of win98.
