Xen, check internet options. I think there is an option where you can stop new windows coming up when you click on links that may have been checked by mistake? (Or maybe I'm thinking of Netscape

).
Anyway I voted real time as well; I'm playing Wizardry 8 atm and it really is frustrating, especially when there are a lot of friendlies 'helping' (ie retreating) which takes forever). And I voted management games, although I like RPGs and strategy (eg civilisation) games equally well. It depends on the game and how I'm feeling at the time. Plus variety is good; I would get bored just playing RPGs all the time.
