Did you reboot the system, Bobby? As you open and close programs you use resources that may not be reclaimed by Windows. It's a good idea to reboot periodically or anytime you experience irregular performance. Shut it down (by going through 'Start' - 'Shut Down') and let it sit for a minute or two before starting up again. This will make sure that the dynamic RAM is cleared.

instead of clicking on a link, try this :
right click on the link, and then select the 'open in new window' option.
This is something that has worked for me in similar circumstances in the past.

Links posted on the Forum are opened with an attribute of target="_blank". This basically means that the link will generate a new window, so that you don't lose your place on the Forum.
It's easy for me to imagine a poorly written "popup blocker" that would disable the target="_blank" feature of standard HTML code. Have you installed a "popup blocker" program recently?

For what it's worth.The (edit) link and an e-mail link,(IF) posted by a member will work.But nothing else.Hope this helps.
On a positive note.I've saved hundreds maybe thousands of dollars the last few days.I can't click for anyones E-mail so I can't buy anything.The wife loves that part.

Bobby,
Click on the following link for steps to fix this problem. Hope this helps.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q281679
oops, sorry. you CAN'T open a link.... below are the instrux for "fix"...
-----------------------------
SYMPTOMS
When you click a hyperlink in an e-mail message or on a Web page, or right-click a hyperlink on a Web page and then click Open in New Window, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
Nothing happens.
The new window may be blank.
You may receive a scripting error message.
When you use the Print command or the Print Preview command in Internet Explorer, nothing may happen.
When you try to connect to Web folders, you may receive the following error message:
The current operation could not be completed because an unexpected error has occurred.
CAUSE
This behavior may occur for any of the following reasons:
The (Default) value setting in one or more of the following registry keys points to an incorrect location for the Urlmon.dll file:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{79eac9e0-baf9-11ce-8c82-00aa004ba90b}\InprocServer32]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{79eac9f1-baf9-11ce-8c82-00aa004ba90b}\InprocServer32]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{79eac9f2-baf9-11ce-8c82-00aa004ba90b}\InprocServer32]
This may occur if you install a customized version of Internet Explorer that was created with the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) version 5.01 Service Pack 1 (SP1), 5.5 SP1, or 6.0.
The following registry key is missing or damaged:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
One or more of the following files is missing, damaged, or improperly registered:
Url.dll
Mshtml.dll
Actxprxy.dll
Oleaut32.dll
Shell32.dll
Shdocvw.dll
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem in Internet Explorer, follow these steps:
Quit all programs that are running.
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type regsvr32 urlmon.dll, and then click OK.
When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded" message, click OK.
If this does not resolve the problem, repeat steps 2 through 4 for each of the following files (in step 3, replace Urlmon.dll with each of the file names below):
Shdocvw.dll
Msjava.dll
Actxprxy.dll
Oleaut32.dll
Mshtml.dll
Browseui.dll
Shell32.dll (Windows XP and Windows 2000 only)
If the problem is still not resolved, verify that the following registry values are present and correct:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
Name: (Default)
Value: IDispatch
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid
Name: (Default)
Value: {00020420-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid32
Name: (Default)
Value: {00020420-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
If the problem is still not resolved, reinstall Internet Explorer. If you are using the version of Internet Explorer that is included with your operating system, reinstall or repair your operating system.

If this problem occurs after you install a customized version of Internet Explorer that was created with the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) version 5.01 Service Pack 1 (SP1), 5.5 SP1, or 6.0 and is resolved by re-registering the Urlmon.dll file, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the appropriate fix below.

Bobby, you may try installing the latest Internet Explorer patch or reinstalling the last run patch. This may repair whatever's changed. Click on 'Start - Windows Update'. This will take you to the Microsoft web page and you'll find a list of patches recommended for your configuration.

Bobby,
I may have you try and "Uninstall" Internet Explorer, then install it again.
To do this,
1. Goto your control panel. Usually START MENU -> Settings -> Control Panel.
2. Once in the control panel, you want to select "Add/Remove Programs".
3. Once inside Add/Remove programs you will see some buttons on the right side. Click the button "Add/Remove Windows components".
4. This will bring up a dialog box with a bunch of applications with check boxes. Remove the check mark from Internet Explorer and then hit next.
5. It will remove internet Explorer. Then reboot your machine.
6. Now go back to the same control panel you were in and now ADD the checkmark in INternet Explorer and then hit NEXT. This will reinstall it.
Let me know...
Cheers!
Mark

I had a similar problem with IE, so I thought. The only cure was a clean install of my OS. I tried to reinstall IE, no luck. I tried to reinstall windows over my os so I could save what was on my hard drive, no luck. I went through several suggestions but nothing worked, like what you are going through now. I hope someone else comes up with a better solution. If they do please post the results. winston may |
