IE not working when opened from application

I have noticed that trying to access a website from within an application
(such clicking a link in IRC) will open a new window of IE which looks up and
uses the IP address, times out the connection attempt, and then repeats this
process for every other website I try to open in it. I can copy/paste the
URL, open IE independently, and it works fine, so it hasn't been
earth-shattering. But now I have a Telnet application that I want to use that
opens a new window (of itself) whenever it connects, and runs into the same
problem. The Telnet program included with Windows can connect, so I know the
site is up. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Close all instances of IE.

Copy & Paste the following into the Start/Run box:

regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll

Now Copy & Paste the following into the Start/Run box:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

When it's done, Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options
Under Tempory Internet Files, click "Delete Files", check "delete all offline content", click
"OK", "OK", Click the Programs tab, and click "Reset Web Settings" button, Select "Yes" when
prompted, and click OK to close.

I followed your instructions exactly, twice - once without restarting, and
then restarting after, just in case - but I'm afraid the problem persists.

Someone else I mentioned the issue to suggested running "sfc /scannow",
which I did in the same pattern, but also to no avail. This is a more
stubborn issue than I thought it would be.
