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:

http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers.htm#new_window

5. Try this:

Go to Start | Run, and type SFC.
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.
 
I seem to be having exactly the same problem with Windows XP Pro.
The suggestions for SFC dont work the same, but I have tried scanning all
protected files anyway, but that didnt help. Non of the suggestions at your
link have helped either.
I have noticed that if I stop IE loading the page then refresh the page
comes up.
Still scratching my head here.........
 
Here's the MSKB article the regsvr32 urlmon.dll advice is based on

<title>281679 - You Cannot Open New Internet Explorer Window or Nothing Happens After You Click a Link</title>

I'm surprised Sandi's page doesn't refer to it...

Hmm... it seems to be listed here:

http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers2.htm#hyperlinks

and that links to the article that Frank gave

Note: this information was constructed offline from stuff I happen
to have in my cache so check out Sandi's home page if it has been
moved since I got it.


Good luck
