Link probs IE6

[China]

G'day All,
When I click on a link within the browser that forces a new
window or right click to open a link in a new window, the window opens, the
little symbol spins as though its looking for the page, but nothing else
happens. Nothing appears in either the address or progress bars. When I
finally give up waiting and hit the stop button, the target address finally
appears, and upon hitting the go button, the page then loads normally. Any
ideas?

G'day China M8,

Crikey! ya didn't tell us your Winnose and B'owser versions. Howza bloke 2
know?
What about other cobber ya got on ya machine (Toolbars), though it sounds
like a file association for Internet Shortcuts problem (can't Ausesque those
technical words.)

Windows and Browser versions would help though.
Please post back on this thread.

Regards. Crockodile Rob^_^

G'day Rob,
My mistake old son.

add-ons or toolbars. Using ZoneAlarm firewall, with system scanned with
Spy-bot, Ad-aware and AVG anti-v, with no problems found.

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:

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.
