IE6 will not open new windows.

[Scott]

In IE6, if i click a link that causes a pop-up box or a
dialog box (such as windows update site) the popup or
dialog box will appear, and do nothing. The only thing I
can do is close the window. I have to use Netscape to
browse any websites that utilize popups or most dialog
boxes (such as my email), and cannot use windows update due
to this. How can I fix IE so that the pages will load and
everything will work again?

Thanks,
Scott

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.
