why wont "new tab" work

i have a year old gateway, recently it speraticly does not load a new tab page. it will pull up a new tab but it will not load a website, it also wont load alot of the links that are on posts on here and other places. it brings up a new tab, starts to load, but it never finishes, it just acts like it gets stuck in the middle of the load like i lost conection (but i dont). any ideas? i dont have anything disabled that i know of, nothing is "blocked".

 

google? time warner cable? it works sometimes and it dont sometimes.

 

do you maintain your comp?

 

maintain? i upload all the updates it tells me to, i run a virus scan everyday at noon, it atomaticly defrags, and i disc clean about once a week. oh and i wipe me screen off

is this IE, Firefox?

 

I've noticed this with Google Chrome on my PC. It's definitely not me as I have everything updated and it works with a lot of other boards, TTORA, expeditionportal, etc.

It's kinda weird, when you middle click on a post, it opens up in a new tab AND sends the current tab to the page. I've switched back to Firefox until it's fixed. Like I said, it has to be something with TW because other boards that use the same software work fine in Google Chrome.
