Links and Pop-ups wont load!!!

[Jim Byrd]

Hi Tom - 1. Go to Start|Run and enter one line at a time (or even easier,
open a DOS box and copy the following in its entirety and then paste it into
the box):

regsvr32 comcat.dll
regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 Msoeacct.dll
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\Msoe.dll"
regsvr32 msjava.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 browseui.dll
regsvr32 Stdole2.tlb
regsvr32 Olepro32.dll
regsvr32 Msjet40.dll
regsvr32 pdm32.dll
regsvr32 Msjtor40.dll
regsvr32 Dao360.dll


with a Return after each .dll. You'll get a message about successful
completion of the re-registration process after each one, then enter the
next (with the DOS box they'll be continuous except for the last one).

If you use Win98x and get an error on Shell32.dll, ignore it. Only the ME,
Win2k and XP versions of windows have shell32 as an object that needs
registering. (For these earlier operating systems, run "regsvr32
shdoc401.dll " instead of "regsvr32 Shell32.dll".) Depending on your
system, you may also get "not found" error messages on the last two or
three - if so, ignore them.

Re-start your computer when you've finished.

2. Some links to additional possible solutions are given here:
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers.htm#new_window
Also see: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679 for certain registry
checks that can be made.

3. You can also do the following, but BE AWARE that it will reset to the
default Homepage and Search. Go to: IE/Tools/Internet Options/Programs/
and click Reset Web Settings.


4. And now go to Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types. Scroll
down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol/Advanced/Edit. Under Application
used to perform action it should read: "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome

(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the
double quotes. It may be "%SystemDrive%:\Program Files\Plus!\Microsoft
Internet" for NT4. )

DDE should be set to: "%1",,-1,0,,,,
Application should say: IExplore
DDE application not running should be blank
Topic should be: WWW_OpenURL

The above settings should also be there for URL:Gopher.

Here's a more detailed procedure for this if you have difficulty, courtesy
of Robert Aldwinckle:

"1. Find Files for E:\Program Files\iexplore.exe
(That's a partial path I'm giving it to just get there quicker.)
2. Use Alt-Enter to open the Properties for that file
3. Click on the Location: field. Select it all (Shift-F10,A)
4. Copy it to the clipboard. (Shift-F10,C)
5. Open Folder Options and navigate to
Editing action for type: URL: Hypertext Transfer Protocol
6. In the box labeled Application used to perform action (Alt-L)
highlight everything _between_ the first doublequote and the
last backslash. NB: leave unhighlighted the characters I mention
and everything after the last backslash.
7. Press Ctrl-v
8. Close the dialogs.

....
If there are other protocols you need fixed do them in the same way.

Here's what my procedure is based on. It will give you a
bit more detail about step 5 which is OS dependent.
FWIW I start Folder Options using my Start menu
(Win,s,f) (I'm using Windows NT + WDU.)

OLEXP: Internet Shortcuts in Outlook Express Do Not Start Web Browser
(Q177054)"


See if that helps. If not, post back - there's one more thing we can try.

Whenever I click on a link that opens another page or when a popup

appears,

check your time zone

 

[Tom Doherty]

Whenever I click on a link that opens another page or when a popup appears,
the page does not load. It just hangs. I think this happened right after I
installed a security patch for XP or IE6. I have installed all the newest
patches but to no avail.. I have also tried Regsrv32 Urlxxxxx but that
didnt work either. PLEASE HELP. I am getting very annoyed.

 

[Jim Byrd]

YW, John - Thanks for the nice words - glad you got it straightened out.

I have the same problem, tried the solutions you suggested
and there has been no change.

Do you have any other suggestions?

I have reinstalled Windows ME numerous times when working
on this problem and that hasn't done any good. Does anyone
think that upgrading to XP will make a difference?

 

[Jim Byrd]

Hi Dweebe - First, are you up-to-date with ALL current Critical security
patches from Windows Update? Next, did you re-register ALL of the .dll's
from my previous post and check out the File Types entries as I suggested?
Next, have you done a Repair and/or a Re-install of IE6?

If you've done ALL of the previous steps, then you can take a look at:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=kb;en-us;Q259737 (It won't sound like it
has anything to do with your problem, but trust me . . . ) You'll
need to download and run the mcrepair.exe program from that article to
replace some dll's and a type library file (Asycfilt.dll Oleaut32.dll
Olepro32.dll Stdole2.tlb) with older versions. Rename your current ones for
backup to play safe. When you run the mcrepair executable and it prompts
you whether you wish to overwrite Newer files, make sure to click YES for
each file ( do not select "No" or "No to All" ). You need to replace them
all and then reboot. Try that and see if it solves your problem. If not,
restore the ones you renamed.

I have been following your discussion with great
interest !
My IE 6.0 (XP Home) has exactly the same problem. I tried
all of the fixed suggested on this message board, non of
them solves my problem. Re-registering of the dll's has
helped some.
My problem accurred after installing the recent Microsoft
updates for Windows XP Home edition....
I have another PC with XP prof, but son't want to update
this one since the IE 6.0 on this one is still working
fine...
I'll keep trying to get it fixed and will post the fix
here , if I can find one.
Cheers,
JR
