| 143441 | 2003-05-12 05:27:00 | Can anyone make suggestions regarding a problem I have in opening internet links in another internet explorer window. The link opens in the same window but refuses to open in another window. The same thing happens when I click on a link that automatically opens a new window. I couldn't even download windows updates using IE because nothing happens when the download web-page dialog box appears (after you agree to the licenses). I can however, copy the link shortcut to the clipboard and manually open a new IE window, then paste the link to the address bar but this method will not work on links that automatically opens a new window. I am annoyed though that the shortest way (right click on link and click on open link in new window) can't be used. My OS is Win XP SP1 Home and I have IE6 SP1 installed. |

| 143443 | 2003-05-12 05:49:00 | Have you by any chance got a pop-up killer running?...a couple i have tried in the past have caused the same thing.(i recommend proximitron.......but who am i to say..) You could try pressing the shift key as you hit a link,i belive that forces a new window. And i believe theres an option relating to opening new windows under tools>internet options>advanced. Or you could try the repair option as suggested. Personally i tend to re-install ie6 off a cd,ive had problems on peoples computers where the repair option didnt work,due to particuly nasty hotbars/toolbars.... |

| 143444 | 2003-05-12 07:52:00 | Thank you for your suggestions. I do not have a pop-up killer running. The shift-click link combination does force a new window. However, the new window still does not show the contents of the link. I have checked the internet options, nothing there about opening new windows. Only about reusing windows for launching shortcuts, which I have disabled. I have also tried to reinstall IE6 from the PC World Plus! CD but it keeps on saying I have a newer version already installed, even when I already uninstalled IE! I suspect the IE uninstall function does not really remove IE, but only disables it. Any more suggestions? I will try anything to solve this problem. |

| 143445 | 2003-05-12 08:43:00 | Try some of these. Start/Run/CMD. Type this command: REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL Reboot. Then go to: IE/Tools/Internet Options/Programs/Reset Web Settings. Go to my computer, view/folder options/file types (or control panel, folder options depending on your operating system. Scroll down to the URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocols, click edit twice and make sure the following is in the application used to perform action box: "C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome Run the following commands from start/run. Run each line individually. After each run, you should see a short message stating the command was successful. regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll regsvr32 Mshtml.dll |
