http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q259737

Hey, you just beat me to it! In fact I have just used SFC to replace that file from a full install version of the IE6 cabs. It had been overwritten by a program written in VB6 (not by me!), and this had also prevented clicking on links in emails to launch IE6 and launching a new Window when IE6 was already open.

I want to thank you PROFUSELY for posting that solution. This has been driving me crazy for a couple of weeks. I could only right click to open a new window if afer the transparent "ghost" appeared then clicking "stop" and "refresh". What a nuisance. I have no idea which program I recently installed that clobbered the shell opening but the file mcrepair.exe did the trick. Answer "yes" to overwriting existing files with OLDER ones. That's the WHOLE problem. AGAIN THANKS!

It also works for me (ie 5.5 sp2). I downloaded the patch mcrepair.exe, ran it, only accepted to replace oleaut32.dll, reboot and all is ok. Alleluliah !


Previously I had tried this (taken from this forum):

<<Run each of the following from start/run:

regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll
>>
It didn't work to repair the bug but it indicated me that there was a problem with oleaut32.dll. That's why I decided to replace only this dll.

I had the same problem using Win98SE and Internet Explorer 5.5, basically the problem lies in the Oleat32.dll file, either you can extract it from the precopy1.cab files on the Windows Cd or you can download mcrepair.exe and run that ..

hope it helps you!
