IE links come up blank and system restore not working

[Guest]

our computer was working fine and then my wife was playing Pogo and she had
her Popup blockers off and she could load the main pages fine we were getting
error on "detail popup windows" so we uninstalled her popupblockers (they
were the google toolbar and cloudmark)and we are still getting this problem.

we decide to do a system restore
we keep getting restoration incomplete.
so we did an undo and the undo worked
the only restore point that works is the one for Dec 20th
all the other ones don't work (I had just put a new hard drive and put a new
operating system on the hard drive which was windows xp pro 2 months ago)

we have done all the updates and have SP2 installed also

we use norton system works 2005 and keep that up to date all the time
we have done virus scans and we also used spybot and adaware and we don't
find any problems there.


HELP

Hi Skoalberry25

Try the following and see if it helps:

IE opens blank/empty/white pages, or pages must be refreshed to see content:

also...


Go to Start>Run> and register the following dll's by using
regsvr32 command. Try the first 2, then see if it resolves the problem. If
not then register the rest of the .dll's:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll?
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 scrrun.dll?
regsvr32 msxml.dll?
regsvr32 mshtml.dll?
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll?
regsvr32 browseui.dll
regsvr32 msjava.dll?

If that doesn't work, then check out the following article and do the
additional steps outlined
there:

If you are using WinXP try this:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE_Default_Browser.reg

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.

or............................

Reset security level to default "medium"

If these steps do not resolve your problem, or you need help with the above,
please post back to this thread with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps
