IE pop ups NOT loading...

[Guest]

Hi there! I know that we don't usually want pop ups, but sometimes we do, and
we allow them. Well- when I open IE, for example like with this form here...
to even post a question, a pop up opens to me to type in my question. Well,
in IE, it NEVER loads. EVER. I had to open firefox to even post here. I am
not sure where to go to fix this... I have IE v. 6 and just am not sure what
is going on with it! Any help would be appriciated!

Windows version?
IE version (Help | About)?

Do you get any message at all when this happens?

Sorry! I'm running Windows Xp

And I did state that my IE version is 6.

Thanks for any help offered!!!!!

Ooops... forgot this one...

Do you get any message at all when this happens?

----- No, no warning, nothing... the pop up just pops up (heh), and there is
a blank page, nothing on the page, but I'm expecting something to load. There
isn't a load bar at the bottom, or even a title on the pages... nada! It's
very odd. I've honestly given up on IE and moved on to Firefox (like my
previous post noted), but I've noticed that when using an e-mail client of
mine (IncrediMail), that when I go to click links, only half of the time they
will open with Firefox and load. The other half of the time the link will
cause IE to open, but NEVER load. Odd, huh?! *sigh*

Thanks again for any help offered!

Is SP2 installed?
Are you up to date at Windows Update?

 

[Guest]

Yep! The Service Pack 2 is installed. And all of my windows updates are
current. I'm wondering if there's a way to re-install IE? or perhaps there's
a fix somewhere, to like patch problems? I dunno!

Thanks again for any help offered! and thank you for your time.

Did you try Tools | Popup Blocker?

I just poked around in the pop up blocker settings, but it doesn't say
anything about slow or non loading pages. I don't know. AOL goes through IE,
I do believe, and I'm able to post and view and stuff (this site) through
AOL, so I guess I should be greatful. It's only when I'm launching IE on it's
own and trying to navigate from page to page. It's very odd. I do believe
it's always done this too. Hmmm...

Thanks for your time!

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

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:

http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers/26.html

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

6. See Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 may display a blank Web page
after you select Auto-Select encoding
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870863

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.
