Hi Sandy & Vincent Here's a simpler means to achieving the same result. With your cursor on the link in question press the Applications key (3rd key to the right of the spacebar on a normal keyboard); press down arrow until you hear Open in new window; press ENTER and a new browser window will open.

This started to happen to me a while back and I discovered that these links are generally going to open a new window and the only way I can get them to open is to press both control plus enter. However, I often have to do this several times, it seems that the press shouldn't be exactly simultaneous, not sure though, generally speaking, I get success if I press the enter just fractionally before the control key, but still end up by holding both down together. Sorry my explanation is so hand fisted, but give it a try and keep pressing the two, repeatedly, until you hear "new browser window" I think that is what you will hear anyway. All the best, Sandy.
