When I click on a link that opens in a new window, it doesn't load. It also doesn't load when I right click on a link, then choose OPEN IN NEW WINDOW it has the same result. It only does this on explorer browser but netscape works.

A key Internet Explorer file component, Urlmon.dll, is involved in the process of loading web pages. If there is a problem with this file and the Registry keys it is associated with, the resulting conflict may cause problems.
To attempt a resolution, register Urlmon.dll as follows:
-Quit all programs that are running
-Click Start>Run
-In Run, key in: regsvr32 urlmon.dll, click OK
(Regsvr32.exe is a utility program that registers/re-installs dll files in Windows for use with certain client applications.)
When the "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded" confirmation appears, click OK.
Reboot.
Test IE.

If this does not take care of the problem, there are other things to try, including a reinstall of Internet Explorer. However, first let us know what version of IE you are running.

Hi All,

There are 4 other library files that are depended upon when "Opening in a New Window".
They must also be properly registered.

Shdocvw.dll
Msjava.dll
Mshtml.dll
Browseui.dll

Register those files also.

regsrv32 Shdocvw.dll
regsrv32 Msjava.dll
regsrv32 Mshtml.dll
regsrv32 Browseui.dll

Check the version of Oleaut32.dll on your computer. My father had the same problem just a couple of weeks ago and I found he had version 3.50.5014.0 which is for XP.

Sent him version 2.40.4518.0 which is for Internet Explorer 6.0 and the problem was corrected.

-As stated in response #3, Oleaut32.dll may be the culprit.

If IE6 is installed, and the OS is a flavor of W98, an Oleaut32.dll file version conflict may be responsible for the elusive links.

IE6 installs a different version of Oleaut32.dll than that contained in W98. To eliminate the conflict, restore the version of Oleaut32.dd contained in the Windows 98 CD by using the System File Checker utility, as follows:
1. From the Windows Start menu, click Run.
2. In the Open field, key in: SFC Press Enter.
3. The System Configuration Utility appears.
4. Click: Extract one file from installation disk.
5. Key in the file name: Oleaut32.dll and click Start.
6. In the: Restore From field, key in: [CD ROM drive letter]:\Win98. (If the System File Checker cannot find the file, change the Restore From field to C:\Windows\Options\Cabs)
7. In the: Save File To field, type C:\Windows\System Click OK.
8. If prompted to save a backup and accept the default location, click: Yes. The process will finish with a successful extraction prompt.

As an alternative, or if the W98 setup CD is not available, use the Mcrepair.exe utility found at this site:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/msninvestor/Patch/1.0/WIN98/EN-US/mcrepair.EXE

When the downloaded file is run it will prompt that the files replaced are older than the ones on the computer. This is the action necessary. Choose "yes" to overwrite the newer files.

When done, Reboot.
Test IE.

Thanx for helping FZWG and mesich.
It worked, but now MSN doesn't load when we start our computer it shows a message saying:

Msnmsgr.exe file is linked to missing
Oleaut32.dll file.

Should I just reinstall msn?

Thomas,

Msnmsgr.exe relates to MSN Messenger for Windows.

MSN does not load at all, or MSN Messenger does not load?

The last response got posted in the wrong thread. That's what I get for having so many different pages opened at the same time.
