No Links

Can't open any links. They won't go to the address bar. Have to push stop and that says action stopped and then push the go button before it works.Thanks in advance for any help.
Windows 98 se and IE 5.5

 

chulu--This does not address the problem just as you have described it, but you might want to read anyway

You just need to re-register the URL monitor. Heck, if you're having any kind of hyperlink hassle, give this a whirl. Click on Start | Run and enter: "REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL" (sans quotes). You should then have a dialog tell you that the procedure was completed. Next, fire up Microsoft's Web Browser (IE) and Click Tools | Internet Options | Programs | then click the "Reset Web Settings" button. Now, check to see if Web links work like they should in your e-mail client. With any luck, you'll have returned your system to normal.

 

Well first of all want to thank everybody for the help.
I got the links to work in Explorer by going to windows support and changing the associations that they suggested but still can't get them to work in my Express email.Just a rookie at this stuff but trying to learn the hard way.

 

chulu--Thanks for posting back with a report of your partial progress. Did you also run IE Repair mentioned near the bottom of that MS Knowledge Base article?
Good luck.

 

Yes. I did that. I did everything, but no luck in express.I think the only thing left, is to format. What do you think? I reinstalled IE 5.5 but no go. Any help is appreciated.







Wo is me. Or something like that.
