Launching Browser within Outlook

[Guest]

I restored my laptop after a crash and re-installed everything. About the
only new program I added was the beta version of MS Anti-Spyware. Whether
it's that, or some setting I'm missing either in XP or Outlook, I can no
longer open my browser from within Outlook ... including not only links, but
online help, etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi

Try this:

With Outlook closed run the following command from Start>Run:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

Then open Internet Explorer and go to Tools>Internet Options>Programs and
click on 'Reset Web Settings...'. Try the links in Outlook again then.

Thanks for the response Denny. I got an error message stating:
LoadLibrary ("urimon.dll") failed - The specified module could not be found.
Any next step thoughts?

Hi

The command should be

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

not urimon.dll - that is why you saw the error message. Copy and paste the
command - see if that works.

Sorry Will, I can read but can't type this morning. Duh! I ran the command
successfully, but with no impact on opening the browser from inside Outlook.
I tried re-booting, with no better results. I've re-set my Internet security
from custom to Medium, again with no luck. I've turned off Pop-up blocker
with no luck. Any other ideas?

Hi

Try typing each of the following from Start>Run


regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll

Hi

If none of the following work, you'll perhaps have to try the Outlook News
Group:

regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll

 

[Guest]

Thanks again for trying to help. None of them did the job, so I'm off to the
Outlook News Group.

Sorry, I've got no other options - best of luck.

Sent to "salzmum" in Outlook group - Give the following a go: Control
panel>Folder options>File types - scroll down and select "HTM" (HMTL
document). Under "details for 'HTM' extensions" should be the statement
"opens with internet explorer" - if not click on "Change" and select IE.
Click on the "Advanced" option and set "open" as the default
action - click "OK" - good luck!
