Cannot open .mht file in IE6

[Gibberish]

I have been creating/saving and opening .mht files using IE6 for years
but suddenly the ability to open the files results in the error message
"Page Cannot Be Displayed. Open the
res://C:\WINNT\system32\shdoclc.dll/syntax.htm#mhtml:file:// home page,
and then look for links to the information you want."
I have checked file associations and registry setting for the .mht fle
and can find no obvious problem. I have not installed any new software
on my PC, other than the auto-updates from Microsoft, Virus definitions
and Spyware updates.
I can still create .mht files using IE6, but not open them.
I can however open .mht files using MSword and Excel.
I am using IE6 SP1 version 6.0.2800.1106.
Can anyone please help me with this bizarre behaviour?

Hi Gabish,
You confusing me, you typed the error message OK, but I think you may saving
the IE HTML extension wrong (but not after all of these yrs of writing
html),try to open the HTM/HTML in Notepad and save as HTM/HTML to be able to
excute in IE.
Another thought is the path is correct for these HTM files to be excuted
Right!
and do you save them as ASCI.
HTH
