links won't work

[danet]

Hi all,
Here is my problem:
Lately, most of my programs won't do anything when I
click on links like: "home site", "company site", "check
for update", etc ( most of them located in the "help"
menu).
So, they won't start my browser to take me to those pages.
Again, not all my software acts that way.
I'm running winxp sp1.
Thank you in advance !

Hi Danet,

Close Internet Explorer and Outlook Express if either are open.

Start/run "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" (without the quotes)

Control panel/Internet options/programs tab, click on "reset all web
settings"

Reopen and retry the links in Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.
