Well... It almost sounds like a pop-up blocker problem except that you're saying the window opens for a second and then disapears. If you're using IE, click on "Tools" and then put your mouse on "Pop-up Blocker". Check to make sure that it's turned off. I really don't know what else it could be, but there are plenty of smart people on this forum and I'm sure someone will have the answer.

Strange. Maybe it is time to switch to Firefox ;)

A couple of questions:
1. What version of IE are you running?
2. Is IE your default browser?
3. Do you have any other browsers installed on your computer?

If you have or have had a version of IE7 on your computer it has been known to have this problem if the default browser on your computer is something other than IE. More likely you have a DLL file (Oleaut32.dll???) damaged, not registered correctly, or missing from either malware of some other source (see this article (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679)).

I have never used this piece of software so user beware but you could try using IEFix (http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm) to help with the problem.
