IE6-Can't download anything in IE or AOL

[Laura]

Each time I try to download anything..screensavers,
Macromedia Flashplayer, Shockwave, recipes, I mean
anything, receive the following error message:
Internet explorer cannot download "whatever file I'm
trying to download" from website. IE was not able to open
this internet website. The requested site is either
unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
I have run repair tool, defrag, scan disk. Nothing works.
Any suggestions?

Hi Laura - Go to Start|Run and enter one line at a time (or even easier,
open a DOS box and copy the following in its entirety and then paste it into
the box):

regsvr32 comcat.dll
regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 Msoeacct.dll
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\Msoe.dll"
regsvr32 msjava.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 browseui.dll
regsvr32 Stdole2.tlb
regsvr32 Olepro32.dll
regsvr32 Msjet40.dll
regsvr32 pdm32.dll
regsvr32 Msjtor40.dll
regsvr32 Dao360.dll


with a Return after each .dll. You'll get a message about successful
completion of the re-registration process after each one, then enter the
next (with the DOS box they'll be continuous except for the last one).

If you use Win98x and get an error on Shell32.dll, ignore it. Only the ME,
Win2k and XP versions of windows have shell32 as an object that needs
registering. (For these earlier operating systems, run "regsvr32
shdoc401.dll " instead of "regsvr32 Shell32.dll".) Depending on your
system, you may also get "not found" error messages on the last two - if so,
ignore them.

Re-start your computer when you've finished.
