Internet explorer

by mythman3 Aug 24, 2005 9:42AM PDT

Windows XP service pack 2, AMD 3000 1Gb RAM,

HI! my windows explorer seems to act up lately, and I wonder what the cause may be?! When I click on a hyperlink I either get a blank white window with the system just ''hanging'' or standing by and never opening or showing the contents , or they (hyperllinks)don't seem to work at all. I have done the necessary updates and I have no virus or adware on my system , yet I don't seem to get the things open... any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Bob

mythman3, if you mean Internet Explorer and not Windows Explorer go to the link below and follow the instructions under the Resolution section. Many times registering the referenced dll files corrects the problem. Also make sure that Internet Explorer is set as your default browser.

If it didn't... are you running a dodgey Pop-Up blocker ?
