Open new page from here not working

If I select wupdate.exe from the start button nothing
opens on the screen, even though Task Man shows a
IExplorer page open, I can end the task and see no
difference. If I'm in Outlook OWA and select a e-mail to
open I recieve a runtime error 12 and nothing opens. If I
try to use any application that uses IE such as Veritas or
if I'm in a web page and select something to open a new IE
page nothing happens. An example is on this page if I
select "New Post" button, nothing happens. I've re-
installed IE a couple of time and put in all of the
Windows Hotfixes and patches. This is a Windows 2000
server on SP 4. I'll I can figure is the command for open
new page from here does not function.

Click to expand...

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" should read:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the
double quotes.)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.

If that doesn't fix it, go to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 urlmon.dll
