If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select
it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.
"Application used to perform this action" should read:
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct
and use the double quotes.)
DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should
have:
#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)
#4
WWW_OpenURL
URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the
same.
Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.
If you get a blank page:
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:

5. If you are using WinXP try this:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE_Default_Browser.reg
You can also try this:
Go to Start/run, and type SFC (msconfig for WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk' ("Expand
File" for WinXP).
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 (i386 for WinXP)
folder of your installation CD-ROM (typically D:\Win98), or
in your Windows\Options\Cabs (Windows\i386 for WinXP)
folder, as the case may be.
Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System
(C:\Windows\System32 for WinXP), and click OK. System File
Checker (or msconfig) 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.
