Internet explorer (6) - 'open link in new window' doesn't work

[gregmacca]

Hello

When using internet explorer (6) in windows xp professional, opening links in a new window do not work at all. The function open link in new window doesn't work and neither fo any scripting commands to open new windows. The window opens but doesn't load any of the information. i have been on microsofts site and found an article advising to check the registry values - they are the same on my computer as in the article? Anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks

Greg

I've heard of this problem a lot lately but have not come across it myself. I have asked some experts on this matter and they recommended this:

1) Open command prompt
2) type "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" without the quotes and hit Enter
3) Click on OK in the popup
4) Reboot Windows

Try it and tell me if it works

If the above doesn't work try adding a few more files.

Close all IE6 windows and try re-registering these files.
Run each of the following from start/run: Press OK after each command; you will get an acknowledgement from XP.

regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll

Reboot your computer.
