You need to go to Windows Update and get the latest updates, as your system
is using an older version. Once you do that, see if that fixes the problem.

Unless you have IE7 installed:

Try re-registering these dlls:

Start | Run | type, or Copy/Paste, these in one at a time and try again.
(Note the space in each command).

regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll

In IE, go to: ToolsInternet OptionsPrograms. Click: Reset Web Settings -
(uncheck box for homepage) - Click Yes.

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer, or the Control Panel.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to [NONE] URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT URL:Internet
Shortcut) 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:

IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.

Yeah well I think I am going to have to reinstall windows. When I go to
windows update I get this error message --
Please change your Internet Explorer security settings
To save changes to your settings for this website, you need to enable
userdata persistence for Internet Explorer. Complete the steps below, and
then click Change settings to the left and try saving your changes again.
1.. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2.. Click the Security tab, click the Internet security zone icon,
and then click Custom Level.
3.. In the Settings dialog box, scroll to the Miscellaneous section.
4.. Under Userdata persistence , select Enable.
5.. Click OK and when the security warning dialog box appears, click
Yes.
I have tried all of these suggestions and still can't get that to work
either. So I think my best bet is just to reinstall windows. Don't ya agree?
Thanks for all of your help.
Debbie

I have had the same problem as Debbie, fixed it with Bruce's first post.
Only problem is I have to keep going and fixing it as I needed to 'uncheck'
use DDE. This keeps getting checked again ??

So does the Windows version matter then? The fix is the same regardless.
