MSN explorer and Firefox work great to get to the internet. However, after
botched MSN support help which deleted some registry values and after I did
some restores to previous registry and disk loads I finally got IE back but
when I click on it the page comes up blank with all the right headers but it
will not link to the internet, MSN homepage. The mouse point just sits there
with the hourglass. When I put an address into the address bar it highlights
but does not direst to the page. I went to IE6 download site and reinstalled
IE6, no help. I tried to uninstall IE6 first before reinstalling and there
was a failure to uninstall. Deleted IE6 and then reinstalled from internet,
came back with same problem. ANY HELP????

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

3. Click OK, and then click OK again when you receive the following message:

                     DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded.


4. If that doesn't fix it, see this article:

5.  If you are using WinXP try this:

6. See Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 may display a blank Web page after you select Auto-Select encoding

You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (msconfig for WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk' ("Expand File" for WinXP).
Type oleaut32.dll, not worrying about its location. Then, click Start.

Next to 'Restore From', type in or browse for the file's location, which is probably in the Win98 (i386 for WinXP) folder of your installation CD-ROM (typically D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs (Windows\i386 for WinXP) folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System (C:\Windows\System32 for WinXP), and click OK. System File Checker (or msconfig) looks for the file, saves it as you requested, and then tells you that 'the file has been successfully extracted'.

You may need to reboot.
