Running windows 98 with IE 6 upgrade from ie5.0.
When 6 is loaded, information windows that pop up (desired
ones) are transparent, and the information does not load.

If you move the window, that portion of the window moves
with it. I also have the same download problem as -781-
has. On windows update, the preparing for download screen
comes up, but no download ever starts.

Help...is this why people go to Macs
 
Had the same problem. I replaced the oleaut32.dll file
with a previous version, and everything works fine now.

Start...
Run...
type SFC, click OK...
Now you have to extract oleaut32.dll, click browse...
this file is located somewhere, sorry but i can't remember
where right now. It's been a while since i've replaced it
and I've had to replace it several times.

Anyway, this method worked to solve my problem which
sounds just like yours. I hope it's a start. Good Luck.

Click to expand...

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:

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.
