IE 6 hangs by opening a new window

[Guest]

Everytime I click on a link that opens a new window (similar to the posting
this message) the IE opens a window and hangs. No address in the address bar
and empty screen. I tried resetting the internet settings, Virus scan, Add
Aware and tools like this but so far Ifound nothing that could have caused
this behaviour or even fix it. I have IE 6.0.2800.1106 and windows 2000
(5.00.2195) SP4.
Does enyone have an idea what it could be and how I can slove it? Any help
is appreciated.

It seems somehow my installation of IE is somewhat messed up. The problem
spreds as far as Opening the IE by clicking on a weblink out of Outlook or
any other program starts IE but does not transmitt the link to IE. The Window
"frame" appears, the Address field is empty I can see the toolbars but the
body of IE is transparent. The globe is spinning but no page will be loaded.
Any idea?

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

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:

5. If you are using WinXP try this:

6. See Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 may display a blank Web page
after you select Auto-Select encoding
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870863

You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (msconfig for WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk' ("Expand File" for WinXP).
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 (i386 for WinXP) folder of your installation CD-ROM
(typically D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs (Windows\i386 for
WinXP) folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System (C:\Windows\System32
for WinXP), and click OK. System File Checker (or msconfig) 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.

Thanks for the tips. I tried everything but without success.
In addition I uninstalled all toolbars and rerun Ad-Aware, Microsoft
Malicious tool removal and Spybot Search and Destroy.
I rebooted my machine and still no change.

The strange thing is that IE loads pages if I enter the URL in the Link list
and/or if I follow a Link within the same Window. Once I click on a link that
opens a new Window It hangs with an empty frame. Also if I right click and
select "Open link in new window" - it hangs with a spinnig globe.

It's getting really frustrating.
