Can't open new 'java' page in new window

Hi,

I’m running IE6 on Windows 98.

I am still using dial-up so I often open new web pages that are accessed via
a link on the current page in a new window. Then I don’t have to re-load the
original page once I’ve finished looking at the new one.

This works fine except when the link to the new page involves java. So if
the link is something like 'http://www.etc' then it opens in a new window
with no problems. But if instead the link is something like 'javascript:etc'
then if I try to open the link in a new window I get a new window that is
headed ‘The page cannot be displayed’ and the tab at the bottom of the screen
says ‘Cannot find server’. But if instead I simply click on the link to
display it in the current window then it works fine (but of course I then
have to reload the original page once I’ve finished).

Why does it do this? Is it simply because I need to amend my settings? (I
don’t have any anti pop-up software installed.)

Thanks

Chris
 
First thing to try is to update/reinstall your scripting engines from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...F6-249C-4A72-BFCF-FC6AF26DC390&displaylang=en

If no joy, go to File Types (My Computer...Tools...Folder Options...File
Types tab)
Scroll down to the URL: Hypertext Transfer Protocol file type, click to
highlight, click Edit, click Open, click Edit (slightly different with Me -
click to highlight, click Advanced, click Open, click Edit).

Application used: "C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe" -nohome
Use DDE box should be checked
DDE Message: "%1",,-1,0,,,,
Application: IExplore
DDE...not running: <blank>
Topic: WWW_OpenURL

Okay out.

Or try this article:

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I updated/reinstalled the script engines but that did not fix it.

The settings for url: hypertext transfer protocol were OK.

I then went to the suggested article concerning inability to open a new
window. All the dlls listed under resolution came up OK except for
shell32.dll.

When I went to Start, Run and typed in regsvr32 shell32.dll I got the
following reply.

'Shell32.dll was loaded but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.
DllRegisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of shell32 may
be in memory. Consider using PView to detect and remove it'.

I'm not sure what that means and I'm not sure what to do next.

Help please.

Thanks

Chris

Don't worry about it. Your OS doesn't have that entry point.
I think it is only a WinNT5x feature.

Help please.

If you want more of the same try using your IE Repair.
E.g. Run... (press Win-R) and enter:

rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance

Note: the entry point name is case sensitive.
