IE 6 not loading new window

[Martin Lewis]

When I go to a site with a link that opens in a new window, the window
opens but nothing loads. This, for example, affects my reading my email
when I go to my college's exchange server, click on a message, see the
window open, but nothing loads.

This is on a WIN 98SE w/IE 6.0.2800.1106. Also running AVG antivirus
free edition and ZoneAlarm 6.

This may or may not also be related to recent issues with Media Player 9
where every file gets error message "Windows Media Player cannot play
the file. The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the
format you are trying to play." and Ad-Aware which won't complete a scan
without freezing.

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

3. Click OK, and then click OK again when you receive the following message:

DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded.


4. If that doesn't fix it, see this article:

5. If you are using WinXP try this:

6. See Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 may display a blank Web page
after you select Auto-Select encoding

You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (msconfig for WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk' ("Expand File" for WinXP).
Type oleaut32.dll, not worrying about its location. Then, click Start.

Next to 'Restore From', type in or browse for the file's location, which is
probably in the Win98 (i386 for WinXP) folder of your installation CD-ROM
(typically D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs (Windows\i386 for
WinXP) folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System (C:\Windows\System32
for WinXP), and click OK. System File Checker (or msconfig) looks for the
file, saves it as you requested, and then tells you that 'the file has been
successfully extracted'.

You may need to reboot.

Went thru the list of items and reinstalling oleaut32.dll seemed to do the
trick. During the process of tracking the problem I also did the: Update
your MS scripting engine. Hope that's ok. I still have to work on the
media player problem!

Thanks...
