I am having problems when im doing certain things at work. its when i have
web pages open, i try to open something else, say a xml page, and it doesnt
open a new window. i am sure not so long ago i found a reg tweak that solved
this problem but i cant find it anywhere now. anyone have any ideas what this
reg tweak was.

Try the following and see if it will help:

How to allow multiple windows

Go to Tools> Internet Options> Advanced.
Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts".

Also, if you have Yahoo Companion, Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, a firewall,
Earthlink (or another pop-up blocker) My IE2 (a shell for IE) etc.
Yahoo Companion is a very common cause.

You'll have to turn off the feature that's blocking new windows or, perhaps,
uninstall the program (especially uninstall Yahoo Companion).

With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.

If you're *sure* that another program isn't causing this, these links may
help.

I'm having the same problem. I followed the instructions in the above link,
and I found a problem running:

regsvr32 shell32.dll

It gave the following message:

"Shell32.dll was loaded but the DllRegistrySever entry point was not found.
DllRegisterSever may not be exported or a corrupt version of shell32.dll may
be in memory. Consider using Pview to detect and remove it".

Basically, I don't know what to try next. I don't know what Pview is. I
gather something is wrong with my shell32.dll, but how to fix it? Any
suggestions?

The problem with my IE is when you click on a link it hangs the program you
clicked from for a couple of minutes, but does not open the link. Clicking
Ctrl-Alt-Del shows that Iexplore.exe was started, but it never opens
completely.

Hi Tony :-)

Please post the version of windows you are using. Would you post a link to
the site you are trying to open ?

Jan, it's on an older comptuer with Windows 98, IE 6. The only way I can
open a site is by openning a new IE window from the task bar. Clicking on
any link produces the same problem - the program hangs for a couple of
minutes, then control comes back to the program but nothing happens.

I extracted a copy of shell32.dll from the windows CAB files, replaced the
other one, and I'm getting the same message.

Ignore the message. That tells us that your OS is not NT5x.

In that case you can try a full repair. Ref. KB194177
