Opening search links

After preforming a search and information found is loaded, when I try to open
any of the websites found nothing happens. The only way I can access
anything is by using the address bar. Why can't I open any links/search
items? I have tried looking at all my settings. What am I missing? I just
recently started having this problem.
 
I am having similar problems. When I click on a link within an email, IE
shows a blank screen. When I close the screen, there is a File Open box
asking "Locate Link Browser" as if it doesn't know where the link browser is.
I find no articles in self support on this and can't use email links because
of it.

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
