Karen, Hi!:-) You might have forgotten to answer my querry about the name and version of the browser you are using to surf the Internet. (i.e. Your Default Browser) In whatever window you read this or posted your message, that is a browser. If that is the only browser you have then that is also your default browser as it will automatically launch on connecting to the Internet. The top, colored-border of any window is its Title bar. In the present window, that will display the Name of the Browser at the end of the Title of this Webpage Below the Titlebar, you can find the Menubar and the last Menu from left to Right is Help 1.Click Help A drop down sub-menu shows up. 2.Click the last item there: About (name of browser) to get a message applet. [Example: If your Browser is Internet Explorer it will be About Internet Explorer ] 3.From the popup applet, you can find the Version X.X.xxxx.xxxx where X is a number. If your Browser is Internet Explorer 5 or above and you have problem with Hyperlinks to many Webpages which usaully don't insist on cookies, please let us know. You have the latest veresion of oleaut32.dll 2.40.4518.0

You forgot to post the Browser name! Based on version number , I'm guessing it might be INTERNET EXPLORER6.0 but not the latest 6.SP1. Reformat and Reinstall and doing all Windows Updates will cure this particular problem, if properly done. But, to me that seems to be a drastic measure before trying other more simple things! You may try the following: A. End all running Programs EXCEPT Explorer & System Tray (or Systray) by selecting (click to highlight)one at a time, and then clicking the End Task button in Close Program dialog box as shown in the numbered steps. 1.Press ALT , CTRL and Delete keys to gether *once to open Close Program dialog box that lists all the programs that are running. 2. Click on one item to select and then click the End Task button to temporarily remove that program. 3. Wait a few seconds for Windows to remove that program from running until you finish your troubleshoot and Restart the PC later on. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 as above until only Explorer & System Tray are left behind in the Close Program. *REMEMBER: If you press ALT+CTRL+DELETE repeatedly in a row , PC will REBOOT without giving you a chance to remove the programs in the above steps. So between End Tasks give a few seconds before giving the 3-finger salute ACD B. Registering URLMON.DLL 1.Click Start>Run. 2. In Open:type regsvr32 urlmon.dll and then click OK 3.When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded" message, click OK. 4. Restart the PC by Start>Shut Down...> Restart>OK 5. Retest the failed Hyperlinks in Internet explorer 6.0 If problem persists, post back for other DLL files that need to be registered as above. HTH

hi maadhuri, mesich thanks again for the response. maadhuri, the name of the browser that i have on the title bar is....'computing.net....microsoft internet explorer ...' i've yet to try the steps but i will repost back again, once i do it.....thanks very much. mesich, i tried to clicked on the 'Open in new window doesn't work' link......but my page would just 'blink' and nothing happens...means i cannot even access the link...it happens to my other links as well....

Yes it was kind of silly of me to create a link when that is your problem. Copy/Paste the URL into the address. http://www.mesich.com/newwindow.html Best Regards, Mesich

Mesich, The unintend but very 'positive consequence', of your posting the URL Hyperlink was indeed a 'diagnostic confirmation' of the problem Karen was experiencing, namely her inability to open webpages by clicking on hyperlinks is actually 'universal' and not merely 'restricted' to just a few URLs requring cookies. :-) Karen, Thank you for posting the 'missing link,' no pun intended!:-) Mesich's Webpage (I just visited) has the full troubleshoot for your problem including the ones I was intending to post should the one already given wouldn't solve the problem of failure to open webpages by clicking on known good hyperlinks in Internet Explore 6.0. Wish you good luck. Thank you both for making this thread very interesting, useful and educational.:-)

Hi Karen, There are many different Creative Soundblaster cards, you will need to remove the cover from the computer and look at the card. You should see a model number or an FCC number, post back with that. Mesich

Hi Mesich, Good Day! It is really interesting to watch Karen cross all the computer hurdles with your excellent help and racing towards the finish line in this final lap.:-) Karen, It will be helpful in the search for the proper drivers to know what exactly the make and model of the hardware in question. One helpful bit of information in case of a Brand name Computer is its make & model and in case of some manufacturers like Gateway , Dell and a few others the Serial Number also.These are displayed on the computer case (chassis) in front and/or at the back. I hope all your remaing PC problems will have a happy and speedy resolution.:-)
