Cannot link an email link and IE6 by clicking it.

[Murray]

I cannot click on an address in an e mail and have it
open IE and go to the web site. I tried all the
suggestions in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
kbid=281679 without any luck. These include Regsvr32 /i
URLMON.DLL and others. I, therefore, want to uninstall
and then reinstall Inernet Explorer 6 as suggested. When
I look in control panel Add/Remove programs I don't see
IE6. I see Internet Explorer Q824145 and Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6 SP1. How should I proceed to solve my
problem?

You click on a hyperlink in and an IE window doesn't even open:

You click on a hyperlink and an IE window opens but it doesn't load:

Try, in order...

1. (Re-)Installing 5.6 Scripting Engine from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp

2a. Start>Run>Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

2b. Start>Run>Regsvr32 jscript.dll

3. Re-register all DLLs listed in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679

4a. IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing>Enable third-party browser
extensions (uncheck & reboot).

4b. Find the hijacker that caused 4a to be checked:

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the Spyware forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.**

As part of the hunt, also update your virus definitions and then run a full
system scan. From now on, do both daily.

4a. IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing>Enable
third-party browser
extensions (uncheck & reboot). This was my problem.
Thanks a million for your help. I am now going to follow
your suggestions for follow up.
