Links in emails don't work with XP

[Catherine]

I'm not exactly which forum to put this in. It may be an
MSIE problem, but I didn't have it with win 98 and I'm
having it since I installed XP, so I'll try here and see
what happens.

Since installing XP, I can no longer access links in
emails, not even to microsoft itself. When I click on the
link, the browser comes up with a blank screen, along with
a window entitled "locate link browser". I have no idea
what to do with that as it has never happened before.
Also, something that may be related is that when doing a
search in this forum, links come up but they don't allow
me to view them at all. After clicking on the link,
nothing happens. Again, something that never happened
until XP.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Catherine

Hi,

Close IE and OE

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

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

Retry the links in OE and IE.
