Hyperlinks Don't Work

Whenever I click on a hyperlink from another program, IE
6.0, which is my default browser (Netscape is also
installed), opens, but it just displays a blank page. If
IE is already open, then nothing happens (no blank page
pops up). As far as I can tell, everything else in
Explorer works fine. This problem is especially annoying
when holding the cursor over the link does not display
the address, so I have no way of getting to the page.

The Knowledge Base does not seem to have anything related
to this. Anyone have any ideas that might help? Thanks
a lot.

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

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.
