"see-through" browser

[Brett]

My Internet Explorer (Version 6 i think) just wont work
properly!
When i type an address in the bar, or use my favourites
to go to an addreess,
half of the time it acts like it has loaded up but i cant
actually see anything,
i can sort of "see through" to whatever is behind the
window, (like the aol browser,
or another explorer window). No matter how much i try to
reload, nothing helps. AND all too often, i am told that
Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to
shut down. I've downloaded all the updates etc as far as
i can see,
but it still doesnt work.
My windows version is XP and i use internet Explorer 6 by
the way.
Thanks for any help!!

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:

You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (SFC /SCANNOW for Win2K or WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk'.
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 folder of your installation CD-ROM (typically
D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System, and click OK. System
File Checker 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.
