Can't open URL links in another window.

[Peter Chang]

Something happend to my computer couple nights ago.
I am not sure what but it has caused my IE6 not
be able to open URL links in a new window when clicked on.
(example, all pop-up ads will still pop-up but there's no
content just the window) This is really annoying because
I can't open anything on the web unless I know the exact
URL or the page was code to go directly and not in a new
window.

I am also having problem down loading the newest critical
update.. it just hangs and when close it, IE6 will crash.

Please, if anyone knows anything, post back..

Thanks, Peter

If you're still having problems with the pop-ups
remaining blank, this is the usual fix:
1. Quit all programs that are running.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. Type regsvr32 urlmon.dll, and then click OK.
4. When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll
succeeded"
message, click OK.

If this does not resolve the problem, repeat steps 2
through 4 for each of
the following files (in step 3, replace Urlmon.dll with
each of the file
names below):
Shdocvw.dll
Msjava.dll
Actxprxy.dll
Oleaut32.dll
Mshtml.dll
Browseui.dll
Shell32.dll (Windows XP and Windows 2000 only)


Hope this helps,
Debbie

Issue also occurs with php or java driven redirects to downloads- causes
explorer to crash in urlmon - I needed a reboot before it worked correctly.
