IE8 not opening hyperlinks

I have upgraded my pc, and several others from IE6/7 to IE8.

I am now having several issues with opening hyperlinks in outlook. I click
on a link, and IE8 opens two windows, one is a blank screen, and the other is
the homepage.

The blank one is just a white page, nothing loading and nothing in the title
bar.

All pcs are windows xp, on a domain. I am an admin on my pc, and have
checked ie is the default program, reinstalled, tried the registry edit which
changes a line from %1 to -nohome, which doesnt work, and just goes back to
the original after a reboot.

Also tried a registry import from a known working xp pc.

Im now stuck and looking for help, so if anyone could provide a solution it
will be appreciated.
Thanks
