Phew! Ok, I did the dos thing like you said. No luck! I
also checked out the additional links you provided. No
luck! Resetting the browser I've done a million times in
the past. No luck! I also did the Windows Explore like
you mentioned and everything pointed in the right
direction and all said what it should say. Still, no
luck! I am so sick of this prob! I can't believe AOL
hasn't been able to help! I don't get it. Thanks for
trying. I appreciate it!!

Hi Sharon - Well, I'm not familiar with any of the AOL ,
er, "stuff", so I
don't think I'm going to be of much help here. Perhaps
someone else can
jump in with something constructive. In the meantime,
the following is a
"general" fix for many IE problems that you can try. It
can't hurt, and
might help:
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 browseui.dll
regsvr32 Olepro32.dll
regsvr32 Msjet40.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 - 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.

Actually, if you look, you will see he posted his
problem
under mine. Anyway, here is what I wrote.
OK, I use AOL. And, two days ago I installed their
latest
9.0. Anyway, everything was fine and I was able to use
the MSIE 6.0 browser outside of AOL, like I always do.
Then, yesterday I woke up and I am no longer able to
use
the browser outside of AOL 9.0 I still have AOL 8.0
installed and so I logged on to 8.0 and was able to use
the MSIE 6.0 browser outside of AOL. I have tried
everything, ran 8 different spyware and virus scans,
all
was good. I uninstalled and reinstalled AOL and MSIE 6
5
times each!! I have changed the internet settings,
cleaned the cache and cookies and temp files, have
deleted the AOL adapter, did a scan sick and also did a
defrag! Still, I am not able to use the MSIE 6.0
browser
outside of AOL. I don't get it! Also, when I do have
MSIE
6.0 and try to access a page, I sometimes see this down
in the lower left hand corner:
res://C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHDOCLC.DLL/dnserror.htm
Other times is may change from looking for the URL I
typed to looking for this:
auto.search.msn.com (or something similar).
I am completely lost. I have talked to 8 AOL techs in
Live Help in two days and everything they suggested I
do
I have done already. The last thing they told me to do
was to come to this website and post my problem because
they seem to think it's a MSIE 6.0 problem. Anyway,
that's my story. I am using Windows XP Home, 2.4 Gig
Pentium 4 Processor, 80 Gig Hard Drive, 512 RAM. I
think
that covers it. PLEASE HELP! I am going nuts!
