IE does not respond when using hotmail

[Guest]

IE works great untill I hit the messages tab in hotmail. As soon as I select
an email message in my inbox IE does not respond. I have Office Prof, Office
2003, and all updates. Checked for viruses, none, and spyware, none.

IE works great untill I hit the messages tab in hotmail. As soon as I
select
an email message in my inbox IE does not respond. I have Office Prof,

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT URL:Internet Shortcut)
and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" 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.)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.

If that doesn't fix it, go to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 urlmon.dll
