Hi,

All of a sudden this week IE6 is giving me fits. It has been working fairly
well up to this point. I am running it on Win98 2nd Edition.

Two problems keep happening.
(1) The find in page feature no longer works. I now get an error "Error 35:
Incompatible version RPC Stub". Then it crashes and I have to reboot.

(2) If I open a new window by right clicking on a link and select 'new
window' the new window hangs. I have to cancel the new window request and
then reload, at which point it comes up perfectly.

Any suggestions. I tried to reinstall IE 6, to no avail.
Chad

Thanks for the suggestion, JR.
I tried it with no success. The two errors I described are still there.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion. Like above, this didn't help, either. Something of
a pain.

I'm going to try to reinstall both Win 98 and IE6.

How To: Fix "Incompatible Version of the RPC Stub"

This error can be caused by a fault in v3.50.5041.0 OLEAUT32.DLL. Replace it
with an earlier version to fix the problem. Since it is a system file, you
will have to replace it using DOS. Copy the older version to C:\. Then go
to the start button and restart your computer in MS-DOS Mode. If you have
WindowsME, see below on how to do this.

Once in DOS Mode, type the following (no quotes): "copy C:\OLEAUT32.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OLEAUT32.DLL". When asked if you want to overwrite, type
"Y". It will then say "1 file copied". Then restart your computer
(alt+ctrl+del or you can just load windows by typing "win" at the DOS
screen).

For Windows ME Users: To load WinME in DOS mode, copy "COMMAND.COM" and
"IO.sys" from "C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\EBD\" to a formatted floppy disk. Then
restart your computer with the floppy disk in the floppy drive and DOS will
boot.

It's also reported that the following may be another reason for the problem:

This problem may also caused by version 5.6.0.8515 of "dispex.dll". A user
found version 5.6.0.6626 in SCR56EN.CAB . Extracted it with WinZip and
replaced the "bad" version in WINDOWS\SYSTEM with it. So it might be
worthwhile to also check on that file.
You may also have to go to Start | Run and type
regsvr32 dispex.dll
They have updated Windows Scripting Host to fix the dispex problem and
downloading and installing it again with your anti-virus turned off should
fix it.

Frank:
Thanks so much for this. I was logging in to tell everyone I had fixed the
problem, which was indeed in teh oleaut32.dll.

My solution was to rename the old dll to oleaut32.dll and to run dcom98.exe
which I downloaded from the support pages at installshield.com. I did a
google search for my error, found a similar problem. Ran an install program,
noticed that it too was giving me an error, and followed their instructions.

This fixed my find file problem *and* my open in new window problem in IE6.

Here's the installshield page:

Here's the MS DCom page:

I'm as happy as a clam!

Thanks everyone for your help.
