IE Open in New Window or Popup Links are Broken

Clicking on link that would normally bring up a popup gives javascript -- access denied.

Print Preview also fails with this error:
dialogArguments.__IE_PrintType is null or not an object.

Not sure how I got in this state. Disabled and then removed Google toolbar (popup blocker) -- not its fault.

MS KB article here.

OK - FIXED IT

turns out, it was a tweak in DCOMCNFG that I did a couple weeks back for work. Trying to get remote connection points working, and I remember now tweaking the default access security settings.

THANKS a TON to this guy's post on google groups.

Basically, in DCOMCNFG "default access permissions", I had only SYSTEM. So adding the Interactive account (along with administrators, IUSR_xxx, and IWAM_xxx while I was in there) -- fixed the problem!!
