Start > Run > regsvr32 urlmon.dll

Try this.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Typed it in as suggested and hit OK. A box popped up and
said "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded". Tried
a Link, but it didn't work. Do I need to restart?

Thanks

Hi Adam,

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 urlmon.dll. Then go to:
IE/Tools/Internet Options/Programs/Reset Web Settings.

Hyperlinks not opening:

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 actxprxy.dll and then repeat the
process for regsvr32 shdocvw.dll.

Check your settings here:

Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types. Scroll down to
URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol/Advanced/Edit.

Under Application used to perform action it should read:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
