web pages in separate windows never load after clicking hyperlink

When I click on a link within a website which should open in a separate
window, the separate window opens, but the content never loads. I have
disabled the popup blocker, and I have also checked the appropriate box in
"internet options/advanced/security" allowing javascipts to load from files
on my computer. I have also seen the Microsoft article addressing a similar
problem "281679 You cannot open a new Internet Explorer window or nothing
occurs after you click a link," but I'm unsure if I should try the solution
offered, since my problem postdates the one the article addressed, and
occurred only after I installed Service Pack 2. Any ideas? Thanks.

Click to expand...

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

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:

http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers.htm#new_window

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.
