popup windows do not their content

[Zvi Weiss]

As of few days ago my Internet Explorer Browser does not fill in the content
of popup windows. Any window that is opened from javascript (presumably
with window.open()) opens up in a new window, and then the hourglass shows
up and the popup window never gets its conetct filled up.

I installed Firefox on the same machine not too long ago, and with it I
popups work properly. I wonder if Firefox and IE6 somehow conflict with
each other.

Is there a remedy to the problem I encounter?

Thanks in advance for any tips, ideas, solutions.

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:

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.
