IE open 2 windows!

[resetter]

I recently began having this problem and need help in solving it.

When I click on a link in an e-mail, OE6 sp-1 open two windows. One is
blank and does nothing and then the active link opens as well. The blank
page is always underneath the active page.

Why is this happening and how can I fix it as it is very aggrivating. I run
IE6SP1 as well as XP Home.

This situation does not occur when I use Mozilla.

I recently began having this problem and need help in solving it.

When I click on a link in an e-mail, OE6 sp-1 open two windows. One
is blank and does nothing and then the active link opens as well.

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:

You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (SFC /SCANNOW for Win2K or WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk'.
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 folder of your installation CD-ROM (typically
D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System, and click OK. System
File Checker 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.
