I need some help, please. I am running Win98SE and using IE6. Everything was fine until this weekend, and now I am unable to open new windows in IE. When I right-click to open a new window, it just opens an empty box and then hangs. The only way around that is to press STOP, and REFRESH. What is really annoying is that I also have problems on websites that when you click on a link it automatically opens a new window for you, but my screen just does nothing. The other problem that goes with this is Windows Update. When I go to try that, microsoft tells me that I need critical new updates, but when I start the download, it just freezes up on me. I have run all the Spyware, and have followed all of the instructions given at both http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/can...dow-t15843.html and http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/IE_...ems-t14146.html but no luck. I have tried to re-install Win98 and replacing the OLEAUT32.dll file, but that only made things worse, so I had to restore my backup. Any ideas, help, opinions....anything????? Thanks! |

Go to Start | Run
Type in regsvr32 Mshtml.dll and click OK Do the same with each of the following: regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll regsvr32 Shell32.dll regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll |

Thanks,
I think that I had already tried most of these, but did it again anyway. All of them "succeeded", except for the 4th one (regsvr32 Shell32.dll) which returned the following message: "Shell32.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. DllRegisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of shell32.dll may be in memory. Consider using PView to detect and remove it." What is "PView" and how is it used? Thanks! |

Forget Shell32, that was my mistake, thats for Win2k and XP, use regsvr32 shdoc401.dll for 98

OK,
Tried that, restarted IE, and nothing. The screen seems to blink, but nothing happens. Let me know what is next. Thanks |
