URL Problem

[Bill]

Hi, I'm having a problem with the links in my AIM Today (AOL Instant
Messenger) window and the e-mail links I get in Outlook Express. When I
click the links, nothing happens. Normally, IE is supposed to open up and
take me to the page, but now nothing at all happens.

I reset my settings in the IE properties, but that didn't do it. I know this
newsgroup isn't about AIM or anything, but I was just thinking that some
people might know what to do in this case. By the way, if it matters, I'm
running XP Pro.

Thank you

Hi Bill,

For OE:

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 urlmon.dll. Then go to:
IE/Tools/Internet Options/Programs/Reset Web Settings.

Hyperlinks not opening:

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 actxprxy.dll and then repeat the
process for regsvr32 shdocvw.dll.

Check your settings here:

Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types. Scroll down to
URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol/Advanced/Edit.

Under Application used to perform action it should read:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome

Kelly, thanks for the response. The Outlook Express now runs fine, thanks.

However, the links on the AIM Today window, for instance, are still the
same. I click them, but they do nothing.

Thanks.

Most welcome, Bill and I really can't help you with AIM. Could try?

Go to Start/Run and type each of these in:

regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll

Second open window of IE hangs:
IE/Tools/Internet Options/Advanced and uncheck the option
to Enable third party browsing extensions, restart IE.

Well, thanks again for the help, but it still didn't do it.

Thanks.

Are they javascript links? May try refresh your scripting engine: [Links Courtesy of Frank Saunders]
