233040 2004-04-29 23:07:00 I have Win98se, IE/OE v6.0
Connecting to the internet is OK,
But when I click on a link to open a new browser window, I get an error message.. do you want to send the error to MS....
This happens with links within e-mails and on websites, when clicking on a link is suppose to open a new browser window.

Any insights as to what is going on & what the fix is.
Thank you

There are two things you can try:

1. Restore the oleaut32.dll using the System File Checker:

Using SFC to extract files

1. Go to Start>Run and enter SFC and click OK
2. Check "Extract one File"
3. Enter the file name and click on "Start"
4. In the "Restore from" field enter:: D:\WIN98 [if 'D' is not the letter of your CD-Rom drive, modify appropriately]
5. Click OK

2. Run mcrepair ( 1. 0/WIN98/EN-US/mcrepair.EXE" target="_blank">download.microsoft.com) from Microsoft.
It contains a matched set consisting of
----------
ASYCFILT.DLL 2.40.4515
OLEAUT32.DLL 2.40.4515
OLEPRO32.DLL 5.0.4515
STDOLE2.TLB 2.40.4515
-------
and will properly unregister the current ones and register this set.
