Problems with using hyperlinks on a https and IE6/WinXP SP1

[Laphan]

Hi All

Wondered if you could help me even though the NG might not be the most
relevant to my query.

Basically I have a WinXP machine (SP1 with all web updates don't want to
upgrade to SP2 until this issue is resolved) and IE 6 (all web updates).

If I am on a secure (https) site none of the hyperlinks seem to work. As I
mouseover the relevant links are shown in the status bar (ie another page or
site), but when I click on these links nothing happens at all. Its as if
something is blocking the process of firing these links. NOTE: I can click
on form buttons OK and the exact same links work fine on 3 other machines
that I have.

Do you have any idea why this is happening and how I can correct it?

Many thanks.

Hyperlinks
Open "run" and type in regsvr32 urlmon.dll click ok
then open Internet Explorer and go to Tools>Internet Options>Programs and
click on 'Reset Web Settings...' Try the hyperlinks again.

Tried this and a number of other DLLs and it made no difference.

Deleted all cookies, cache and reset all to defaults and still no joy.

Any ideas?
