Resolved IE 8 does not open links on Windows 7 x64

Hi,

I know that this problem has been discussed before in this forum. For instance here: <http://www.windowsbbs.com/internet-explorer/89410-ie8-win7-does-not-open-links-firefox-ok.html> but I can not post to it anymore because it is more than 30 days old.

I have the exact same problem and it is very annoying. Has anyone found a solution other than reinstalling Windows completely?

I have tried 'Repair IE' from <http://www.pcwintech.com/shanes-toolbox> and also 'Fix it' from <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737>. I have also tried running IE without add-ons but alas it did not work.

Best regards

No but I have just tried the ie8-rereg.32on64.cmd script from IE MVP Kai Schaetzl, as suggested on the link you provided, and it seems to have solved the problem. After running the script and a restart of Windows, external links in IE now works. Thank you very much, Pete!

Best regards
Madsen
