IMPORTANT: Popup Error

[Yama]

Hi,

I have gotten the latest critical updates for WinXP Pro and IE 6.0. Ever
since I
keep on getting a javascript error whenever the window.open function is
called (that is the only one giving an error in my knowledge so far).

Whenever I click on a link that calls a javascript function to open a new
window popup I get an unspecified error. The window does not open. I tried
right clicking and selecting to open it in a new window but nothing happens
either.

This is very annoying! How can I fix this?

NOTE: I have set the internet options from the Tools menu option in the
Advanced tab to its default...

Here is some info:
Open IE 6.0 browser.
Select the "Help" menu from toolbar
Select "About Internet Explorer"

Version: 6.0.2800.1106.xpclnt_qfe.021108-2107CO
Cipher Strength: 128-bit
Product ID: 55736-353-9554311-04241
Update versions:; SP1; Q330994; Q822925; Q828750; Q824145; Q832894; Q837009;
Q831167; Q823353; Q867801;



ANY CLUES????

Hi,

If you installed IE6sp1 before you upgraded to XPsp1
believe it or not you can try an IE Repair via the Run... dialog:

rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance


However, since that is a rather unlikely combination
you can try manually simulating the main re-registrations
that an IE Repair would do for you using Method 1
from this article:

<title>KB831429 - Windows XP stops responding when you download updates from Windows Update</title>

In fact, besides being a very limited subset of the set of registrations
which we find listed in FixIE.inf it is in a way a superset of them too
since that file does not refer to: msjava.dll, oleaut32.dll or shell32.dll
(oleaut32.dll is referred to for the other OS but not W2K for some reason;
msjava.dll is mentioned in the KB article but I'm not sure whether
it even exists in XPsp1a; shell32.dll may have been an oversight
because it isn't a COM-capable module in the other OS.)

Note that an IE Repair would force the repair phase to be done while
the system was relatively quiesced during a boot. So it would make
sense to as much as possible try to reduce the dependencies on
those modules before trying to re-register them, e.g by closing or
stopping unnecessary tasks. In particular, I think you should at least
make sure that iexplore.exe and msimn.exe are not active processes.


Good luck

Thank you Robert!

Running "rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance" did fix my issue. Because I
have a WinXP version that is not able to install Service Pack 1 for the
WinXP Pro I did not have it installed on my machine! I think it was because
I had an invalid product key for the Window XP professionel OS.

I had another question you might know the answer to. Everytime I start my
WinXP Pro the "My Documents" folder open. I tried everything to disable this
even going into the registry to find a hidden entry that would activate the
"My Documents" to open on Windows start, but I found nothing. Do you know
why this happens?

Also how can I change the product key of my windows XP registration without
having to reinstall WinXP?

Thanks,

Yama

Thanks for the feedback! I have been posting that information for so long
without getting any reports of success that I've been wondering if am just
needlesslessly confusing people with that information.

Everytime I start my WinXP Pro the "My Documents" folder open.
I tried everything to disable this even going into the registry to find

Windows start, but I found nothing. Do you know why this happens?

Just the standard ideas: Run... msconfig and check Startup tab

Also how can I change the product key of my windows XP registration
without having to reinstall WinXP?

No idea. Try searching Google Groups for WindowsXP newsgroups
or try reposting there. (In OE press Ctrl-w and type: public.windowsxp)

Hmm... is it a "valid volume license key"?
