problem with Internet Explorer

[Guest]

I am having a problem with Internet Explorer, sometimes some of the links I
click on do nothing or if I right click on them and try to "open in new
window" nothing happens. If I go to the same link in Netscape it will open.
(I just had to which over to Netscape to login here)
This seems to happen mostly with websites where I am logged in and then
within that website I get stuck and some of the links do nothing when I
click on them. It also happens sometimes when I am on a
websites and filling things out such as a Tax preparation website and I will
get
through say 2 pages then when I try to continue to the next page of the
website nothing happens, sometimes it will say Error on the page or
Done at the bottom left side of the browser when this happens. I also will
get "Page cannot be diplayed" But not when I which over to Netscape. This has
been
going on for a few months. I was just in "my account" on the Wal-Mart
website trying to order pictures and right after I upload the pictures it
wouldn't let me go any further I had to switch it over to Netscape and then I
had no problem.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
Thanks, Val

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.
