I recently installed Service Pack 4 for Windows 2000 on
one of my desktop machines. Since then IE has been
unable to open many web sites such as Google and Fox
News. Those that do open take far longer than they used
to on my broadband connection.

I have a laptop running XP and another desktop running
W2000 on the same network and ISP. They are functioning
on the internet in the same as they always have.

Any ideas as to what changed?

I too have a similar problem. However, when I right click
Click to expand...
on the open window in the taskbar, the page loads. If I
don't do that, it sits there waiting to load. If you have
received any kind of information regarding a fix, please
let me know (WIN2k, IE6)

Thanks,
MR

Click to expand...

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.
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.
