Link failures in IE 6, including mail link problem

Over the past several weeks I have been having problems
with click through links not working.

I am running Windows 2000 Professional, and I have all the
critical updates installed.

As near as I can figure it out, it seems that links that
involve java script just will not work.

Intermitently, I am also having problems with straight
link throughs not working. (Don't you love gremlins.) In
those cases, I am able to right click to copy the link and
place it in the address bar to get to the site. This will
sometimes even exhibit itself with different links on the
same page -- it will work with some and not with others.

I have reset my advance properties for the Explorer to
default to see if that was the problem. No joy.

I was considering uninstalling IE6, but the page for the
download says that you cannot do a clean install of IE6 in
W2000.

I am having a related problem with my Outlook Express.
When I hit a click through link in IE6 to email someone,
it tries to hook up to Outlook, which is not configured
for email, so it gives me an error message. I have
checked with the tools in IE6, and I am really puzzled
here. When I go to Tools and click on the Programs tab,
MS Office Outlook is the only email program that is
available. Outlook Express is not an option. (Outlook
Express is set up as my default email server.)
