IE6 fails to start properly

After extensive Photoshop use my Dell GX150 got slow and I
restarted the machine. IE6 is now broken and
"re-installation" doesn't cure the problem. The Mozilla
browser I'm using to write this message works fine.

I have ~10G of free space on my C drive, even after the
addition of 300 JPEGs from my digital camera.

The symptoms: the bars at the top of the IE6 appear and are
active, but the window to display the requested webpage
never "starts"--the blue of the desktop shines through.
The pulldown menus (e.g. favorites) display and selected
URL appear in the URL window, but still no "body".

Any ideas how to clear this problem?

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.
