I am trying to resolve a problem from within MSIE6 in XP Pro. I can browse
fine. Outlook Express as a standalone seems fine. Problem is when I try to
send a Page or Link from the Mail tab in IE. Nothng happens. HP has had me
check that the prog. is registered as the default. it is. A couple of dll's
paths were checked in the registry.
They also had me remove IE & OE in the registry and have th epc rest them.
Values were 1 they were changed to 0. Any ideas will be appreciated.
This is another example of how XP users are deprived
by not having a proper IE Repair tool.
Try Run... (e.g. press Win-R and enter
regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll
and
regsvr32 sendmail.dll
Note since a regular IE Repair would be done during a boot
when *nothing* else was running I suggest it may be best to do
these at least while iexplore.exe is not active.
If that's not enough keep on with
regsvr32 /i browseui.dll
and
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
Hmmm... RegMon shows that there are some registerable .dlls under
%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express
and
%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\System
which get accessed too. So, if the IE only .dlls which we have
re-registered so far are still not enough and these next ones
which are more related to OE are not found from the Run... dialog,
open a cmd window and position its current directory to the
appropriate directory (or just specify them fully qualified
in double quotes.)
In the same way that I wouldn't re-register files that IE uses
while iexplore.exe is running I would make sure that all OE windows
were closed and msimn.exe was not running. BTW probably some
of the following or its equivalent would be done by Run...
msimn.exe /reg
which I also never try to execute if msimn.exe is already running.
With all that in mind then there's this in the OE directory
regsvr32 msoe.dll
this from the %SystemRoot%\System32 again
regsvr32 msident.dll
and this from Common Files\System:
regsvr32 directdb.dll
some more from System32 again
regsvr32 inetcomm.dll
and
regsvr32 msoeacct.dll
Back to Common Files\System again
regsvr32 wab32.dll
And for the Send Page option you might also need
regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll
regsvr32 mlang.dll
and
regsvr32 mshtmled.dll
Also RegMon was showing me numerous NOTFOUND .dll
which if they existed and had COMM entry points too would
also have been candidates for some kind of re-registration.
YMMV.
I will be interested in knowing at which point your symptom
corrects if you can keep track of what you are doing and
can test in between each step.
Good luck
