unresponsive links

[Guest]

we have a situation where some users will click on link and nothing happens. there is only one machine in our shop where we can recreate this. while searching for an answer we created another user on the same machine. we cannot recreate the problem with the new user - everything works fine. we compared browser settings and that doesn't seem to be the problem. does anyone have any suggestions on what to look at or where to look to solve this problem

thanks

I'm having this problem too in Win98SE. The URL is not getting added to the
address bar when the new window opens. If you click on a link that opens in
a new window the window opens with no address for it to go to. If you type
or paste in an address it goes to the page immediatly

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 that doesn't fix it, go to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 urlmon.dll
