Blank Windows

[Dennis Lish]

Sometimes, when I click on a link, a new window is opened without the
url in it and it's totally blank. So, what I have to do is:

right click on the link,
go to properties,
get the url with control c
go back and left click on the link
and
manually put in the url with control v
then hit enter

When the link has a java script, there is nothing that I can do
because there is no url window.

This just became a problem again which was cleared up when I went to
IE6 but now it's back again.

HELP!

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:

You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (SFC /SCANNOW for Win2K or WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk'.
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 folder of your installation CD-ROM (typically
D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System, and click OK. System
File Checker 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.
