Just thought it was worth a shot since you said PA Bear's suggestion didn't
work. (Although I thought it would have).

Bruce,

Should I go through all this when it seems to be only the.swf ones that
won't open for me?

If you get a blank page when you click a link in an e-mail:


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/26.html

5. If you are using WinXP try this:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE...lt_Browser.reg


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.

The IE page opens up with the URL in the address bar, but the page is
totally blank.

| sigh I went to that page, and it downloaded something and said
| Installation Complete! Great! (I thought), so tried the two .smf
e-mails

attachment
| said 85 bytes, the other one had the URL only in the body of the
e-mail,
so

| Go to this page to test your Shockwave and Flash Players:

|
| Do you see "Installation complete" in the first 2 windows?
|
| What is the size of each attachment or SWF file?
