I am sorry, I am posting from work and forgot to specify the different
account. Please forgive my ignorance in this matter. The exact problem is
that sometimes I can connect to a link and some links give me a blank page.
If I copy and paste the link to the address bar there is no problem. I have
applied various fixes that have worked but the current condition eventually
returns. I can not pinpoint when the repair(fix?) no longer works.



I have two other possible solutions if those did not work.

#1:

StartRun 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.

#2:

You may have a damaged identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity.
Create a new one and test it. If all is well, you can import your
messages from the old identity and delete it.

If none of these four possible fixes work, then I have nothing else
to offer you.

This is if you can ID my problem without having to go over stuff
that has been around for years. I have read and read and tried fixes
that worked and can try them again but I need to know from someone
that has had this happen what to do. It is easy to post a generic
answer in the form of a link that leads to 50 more links. If someone
knows what the problem is then that is the one that can explain
exactly what to do. Thanks.

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol 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:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

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

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.



If you get a blank page:


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:
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.

Bruce, I have been here before and find you very helpful and for
that I am grateful. However I am asking for help again in this
matter. I need to know what might be the cause of this returning
problem and if you can help me here I promise to make a donation.

By 'That Fix' it seems to indicate there is one application that will
repair what is wrong. I have done all of the mentioned procedures. I have
always had up to date AV SW and scans. I apply all scans at boot up which
means running various spyware removal SW. I remove all cookies and temp
files regularly. I do not suspect interference as all is well other than
what I call a minor problem. The problem is such that after going through a
long process of this and that all will be well for a short time then back to
square one. It is impossible to isolate a problem if this is the 'fix'. It
is for sure an XP issue as all of the XP systems have this and the Win98
systems do not.

crossed). As mentioned I will donate and once again I do thank Frank
also. Best regards.

JB (off the rocks for now.)

I hope it works out for you. The *donation* was just kidding around.
We are all volunteers here but there is nothing to donate to.

Well, I guess I was fooled I was ready to send something along. I
started to fill in the credit card info and all when I timed out and was
about to start again. I just wanted to show I was seriously grateful for the
time spent. Is that whole 'Donation' feature just fooling around? It sure
looks real.

JB.

I'm not sure what you mean by *It is for sure an XP issue as all of
the XP systems have this and the Win98 systems do not.* This problem
can happen in either OS.


Incidentally, you have some Windows Updates
waiting for you.
How do you know that I need updates? That is an another issue with me
anyway. I am a bit tired of accepting MS updates all the time not having the
time to stop and read whatever and whenever they decide to say I need
another fix for something.




You can try a new identity and test it, but if Malware is involved,
that won't help.

That's all I have.

By 'That Fix' it seems to indicate there is one application that will
repair what is wrong. I have done all of the mentioned procedures. I
have always had up to date AV SW and scans. I apply all scans at
boot up which means running various spyware removal SW. I remove all
cookies and temp files regularly. I do not suspect interference as
all is well other than what I call a minor problem. The problem is
such that after going through a long process of this and that all
will be well for a short time then back to square one. It is
impossible to isolate a problem if this is the 'fix'. It is for sure
an XP issue as all of the XP systems have this and the Win98 systems
do not.

I am sorry, I am posting from work and forgot to specify the
different account. Please forgive my ignorance in this matter. The
exact problem is that sometimes I can connect to a link and some
links give me a blank page. If I copy and paste the link to the
address bar there is no problem. I have applied various fixes that
have worked but the current condition eventually returns. I can
not pinpoint when the repair(fix?) no longer works.



I have two other possible solutions if those did not work.

#1:

StartRun 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.

#2:

You may have a damaged identity. File | Identity | Add New
Identity. Create a new one and test it. If all is well, you can
import your messages from the old identity and delete it.

If none of these four possible fixes work, then I have nothing
else to offer you.

This is if you can ID my problem without having to go over stuff
that has been around for years. I have read and read and tried
fixes that worked and can try them again but I need to know from
someone that has had this happen what to do. It is easy to post a
generic answer in the form of a link that leads to 50 more links.
If someone knows what the problem is then that is the one that
can explain exactly what to do. Thanks.

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

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol 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: #1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the
same. Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.



If you get a blank page:


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:
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.

Bruce, I have been here before and find you very helpful and
for that I am grateful. However I am asking for help again in
this matter. I need to know what might be the cause of this
returning problem and if you can help me here I promise to
make a donation.
