no such interface supported

[Peter Downes]

When I try and open a link on a web page, the following error occurs.

"no such interface supported"

I am working on Windows XP SP2. Tried System Restore to go back to happier
days - no joy. I have uninstalled SP2 and tried with SP1. Same problem. I
have reinstalled Java from Sun. Reinstalled IE6SP1. Same thing.

Any ideas?

See this article for possible help:

If no joy, update/reinstall your scripting engines from here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp

If still no joy, go to File Types (My Computer...Tools...Folder
Options...File Types tab)
Scroll down to the URL: Hypertext Transfer Protocol file type, click to
highlight, click Edit, click Open, click Edit (slightly different with Me -
click to highlight, click Advanced, click Open, click Edit).

Application used: "C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
Use DDE box should be checked
DDE Message: "%1",,-1,0,,,,
Application: IExplore
DDE...not running: <blank>
Topic: WWW_OpenURL

Okay out.
