If you were up to date, it would show:

Oh, you mean my browser is not up to date, OK, I see. Thanks again. I will
get that fixed right away.

Not bad. Try CWShredder:

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.

That smells of Malware. Did you try that fix that Frank gave also?


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 assume that since you are posting in this thread that you have
the same problem of not being able to click on links in e-mail?
And that you have tried the fix I supplied, and the Malware
removal that Frank supplied?


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.

Are you refering to clicking on a link in an e-mail?

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.
