26286	2001-12-02 09:42:00	I have windows 98 Second edition and it has worked well for the past few years using IE 5.0 and outlook express. I decided to download IE 5.5 and upgrade. It worked fine until I tried to open a hyperlink from any Outlook Express text which should then open up a new web page. Any Hyperlink, when clicked upon will turn another color, and about one second later, it will show up as a long bar at the top of the Outlook Express page and then a half second later, the bar will disappear and the Web page URL will NOT open!!! It worked well before I downloaded the latest edition. IE5.5 will open fine from my Desktop or my toolbar but not from a hyperlink. One clue is that if, in that one second the minimized web page title bar shows up and I manage to click on maximize, then the web page will open open. If I don't manage to grab it at that point and click on the maximize button, the minimized web page disappears forever. What have I done wrong or is there a FIX or has any else had the problem?

The links aren't working like they once did in Outlook Express. You either can't click 'em or they're not going anywhere. Or, perhaps every time you open a link in a new window through your mail client, Internet Explorer spits back a blank page.' 'Have no fear - Geekdude is here! The solution is quite simple (and it doesn't require a reinstallation); we just need to re-register the URL monitor. Heck, if you're having any kind of hyperlink hassle,give this a whirl. When software doesn't behave, sometimes you have to spank it.' 'Click on Start | Run and enter: 'REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL' (sans quotes). You should then have a dialog tell you that the procedure was completed.' 'Next, fire up Microsoft's Web Browser (IE) and Click Tools | Internet Options | Programs | then click the 'Reset Web Settings' button.' 'Now, check to see if Web links work like they should in your e-mail client. With any luck, you'll have returned your system to normal.' Cheers!!! e_ CREDIT: Lockergnome.com	Guest (0)
