Had it regularly act up like above before, but almost never after
installing PMM v2.20.2717.

I still see the problem more or less regularly though, mostly when
I get the newsletter from Toms Hardware Guide and click the links
to the articles. Otherwise almost never.

Four or five secnds isn't that big a deal. 8-) I've seen the delay
being up to 20-30 secs, but it more or less always opens the link
in IE as it should, despite the delay.

BTW, I run WinXP Pro English SP1 and all patches.
