[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ IE problem

[Blue_Muppet]

ok, im running IE 6, and only recently for no apparent reason, it has stopped loading new windows. It just sits there blank, apparently loading, but getting nowhere. Mostly this occurs with java pop-ups, just as the 'My Assistant' we have here on the forums, but also it has started happening when i Ctrl-N to open a new window, etc etc etc.

Anyone know what is going on?

Hi
I found this little trick if nothing else helps.

launch regedit and go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}

In the right-hand window double click on the Isinstalled DWORD value and change it to 0

close regedit

then go to windows update and it should update IE and hopefully fix your problem

BTW you can fix Outlook express too with same trick

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}

good luck
