IE opens only blank new windows (W2K)

[haarsaker]

Hello.
I have a problem with links on WEB-pages in IE 6.0 that opens new IE windows.
In stead of opening the destination web-pages in a new IE windows, what happens is that a new IE window opens containing nothing (blank).
This occurs in all new IE windows open from links in other IE-windows.
This also happens if I point to a link and choses Open in new window from the right-click context menu.

Anybody ?

Hi,

I'm assuming you don't have a popupkiller installed, or some application blocking Javascript, that might be responsible for this?

Go to IE tools/internet options/programs and turn on the check box for IE to check if it is the default browser. Shut down and restart IE. When it asks to be default browser, say yes.

Now go to Start - Run (type each line below separately, then press OK)

regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Msjava.dll
regsvr32 Browseui.dll
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll

Note: you should see a brief message after each entry that the dll has been successfully registered.

Now reboot, test IE, and repost with your results.

You might also consider upgrading to IE 6.0 SP1, which will give you brand new versions of all these dlls, and a myriad of bug fixes.

Finally, sometimes there's a registry issue.

Read this MS article:

Good luck, Tony

The regserv-commands worked very nice, thanks.
Problem is solved.
