Yesterday my computer starting acting freaky! When I click on a link most of
the time, it doens't work properly - I'll click on the link, I see the
page/link name down in the bottom left corner, but it's not putting it in the
address line of IE. I'm stuck with the little hand on my screen until it
times out and returns to an arrow. Then it will say done in the bottom left
corner, but it's NOT done. I have run McAfee Virus Scan, Spy Sweeper & even
tried turning them off including my Super Ad Blocker...but still it won't do
right. Could it have something to do with a Windows Update? It's like getting
this window to open took be clicking over and over several times on the lower
bar to get it to work...or maybe it was just a coincidence? Either way it's
really paralyzing my game play as well as browsing.

Can anyone help?

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:

http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers.htm#new_window

5. If you are using WinXP try this:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE_Default_Browser.reg


You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (msconfig for WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk' ("Expand File" for WinXP).
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 (i386 for WinXP) folder of your installation CD-ROM
(typically D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs (Windows\i386 for
WinXP) folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System (C:\Windows\System32
for WinXP), and click OK. System File Checker (or msconfig) 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.
