Windows 98 Updates

After installing critical updates from Microsoft, I seem to be having several small problems. One is the Win 32 Application error trying to open IE, another is that I can't open any web pages from within another application, I have to manually go to Address and manually type in the web site.

Does anyone know what was in these updates to cause these issues and how to correct?

Thanks

 

Here is a good place to start for opening pages from a link.

 

Dave,

I don't get anywhere when I click on "here" in your reply. This is the problem I'm having....can't go anywhere unless I manually type in the address code from the browser.

 

DUH! Sorry about that! Right click on link and copy shortcut then paste it in your address bar.

 

I followed the instructions on the page, but can't even get started! When I type in "regsvr32urlmon.dll" it says can't find. The solutions after this all apply to this being there...what to do??

 

Make sure you put a space between the 2 and u. And no ".

 

Even though this started after Win updates, it sounds more like an IE problem. Have you tried repairing IE via the add/remove programs? Look for IE there, highlight, click add/remove. You should get the option for repair.

 

did that....no help...what next??

 

Did you reboot after installing updates?

Go back to Windows Update, click view installation history, and tell us what updates were installed.

 

Elaine, gonna get confusing since you got 2 posts going about this issue.

 

Oh, is the Win 32 Application associated with the web sites not opening?? Silly me.....I don't know!

But, you guys are so helpful and I learn more each time I have to come to ya....thanks...

 

Just wanted to say thanks.....removed update that was obviously causing the issues....thanks again!

 

elaine--What "Update" was it that caused the problem? I have noticed recently that I have to copy and paste links on some websites instead of just clicking on them (as I have for five years).
