Iframe stops pop up working in IE

I have an iframe and a pop up and the pop up won't work unless you remove the iframe, all you get is a "boing" sound when clicking on the pop up link. This only occurs on IE6, Firefox is ok. Pop up blocking is disabled, security settings are "medium". I have another PC running IE6 (XP) and the same problem. My son's laptop (XP) and IE6 renders the popup correctly and also has the same "medium" security settings. I can't be certain but this iframe/popup incompatibility was not a problem last week... I suspect it's arisen since the last automatic windows updates.

Any suggestions?
