Nothing Happens When Clicking on Links

G

Guest

When I go to a website and try to click on the links, some work and some don't. This started happening about a week ago. It happens on all websites but not on all links. The cursor changes when I hover over the link, but when I click (or double-click) on it, nothing happens. No error, no URL displayed at the bottom of the screen, nothing. Sometimes when I right-click I will see an "open" option, but not very often.

This is happening on all websites, even those that worked fine about a week ago, so I know it's my settings and not the websites.

Most of this may apply to WinXP

You may be able to resolve the issue by resetting Web
settings in Internet Explorer.
Tools, Internet Options, Programs
"Reset Web Settings"

Also look at:- Tools>Internet Options/Advanced/Underline Links.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------
1) Click start/run
2) then type regsvr32 urlmon.dll (note there is a space between 2 and u)
3) Enter
4) Open Internet Options in the Control Panel, click the Programs tab
5) Then click the button Reset Web Settings.
Reboot your PC

Also if hyperlinks are not opening:
1) Click start/run
2) then type: regsvr32 actxprxy.dll (not there is a space between 2 and a)
3) Enter
4) now type: regsvr32 shdocvw.dll (again noting the space between the 2 and s).
5. Enter

Also check these settings:
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
