Links Don't Work

[Dan Sontup]

Nothing happens when I click on url links for web pages that are part of a
posted message. Yet, if I make a note of the url and then go on the Net and
key it in, the web page comes up. Being real new to XP, I must be doing
something wrong. Can someone help, please?

TIA -- Dan

What is the error message you receive when you type in the URL online

Are the links that you click "highlighted"? If not you
have to copy and paste in the address bar.

Click Start | Run | "regsvr32 /i urlmon"

If this does not help, run iefix.exe
If this does not help, run this fix: Based on MSKB article:

This would appear to be as a result of one of the updates
but I can't find out which one. The way that I now work
around this is to have a web browser open and then when
reading my mail and I click on the links sent to me they
work. You can also try these. go>start\run and type in
regsvr32 /i urlmon.dll
regsvr32 /i actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll and hit ok or enter after each
one. Make sure you leave a space after regsvr32 and /i .
You can cut and paste to the run line from my post if you
like. Keep smiling.

It should be "regsvr32 actxprxy.dll" instead of "regsvr32 /i actxprxy.dll"

Note that "actxprxy.dll" does not have the DllInstall function. So using
"/i" is useless.
