pages won't display

[Rudy]

I'm running IE 6 under Windows ME, all current updates.
For the past several months, some web pages won't
display. I very quickly get the "Done" message in the
lower left corner of the screen, but the screen is blank
(white). I just bought a second computer running IE 6 and
Windows XP Home and it displays the pages just fine. One
example of the problem was on a webpage that had a ".htm"
extension; my new computer converted ".htm" to ".asp" then
displayed the page, but my old computer stayed
with ".htm". Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rudy

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:

5. If you are using WinXP try this:

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.

Thanks, Frank. None of these fixes worked, but I did
discover that the problem occurs when the html code looks
like this:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1;URL=index.asp">

Any ideas? Thanks.

That's getting beyond my limited knowledge of HTML, I think.
Do you have an example URL?
