new browser window not working

[hiddi]

I believe this problem stems from installing adaware but
not sure exactly. When clicking a link to a page I am not
forwarded to the website but instead a blank IE. Nothing
is placed in the url bar and the page is blank. What also
occurs is when I recieve popup ads I get blank pages as
well. I couldn't even post this message using IE, for when
I clicked New Post I would also then recieve a blank ie
page. While messing around in settings I found nothing
relating this. Hopefully I'm wrong and this is an easy
fix? Any suggestions?

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.
