Here is my list covering all Windows versions.  I would 
start with (A) and then next, try (G). If neither of 
those solve it, then go through the rest of the list.

A) Start with the easiest and see if it works:
IE->Tools->Internet Options->Programs Tab.
Click Reset web settings button. 

B) Temporarily disable anti-virus/firewall/popup 
blockers and toolbars.  If that solves the problem, 
isolate which program is causing it and change settings 
within that program. 

C) One or more of the following DLLs might be 
improperly registered.

1. Quit all programs that are running. 
2. Click Start, and then click Run. 
3. Type regsvr32 urlmon.dll and then click OK. 
4. When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in 
urlmon.dll succeeded" message, click OK. 

5. Repeat, substituting each of these additional DLLs:
Shdocvw.dll 
Msjava.dll 
Actxprxy.dll 
Oleaut32.dll 
Mshtml.dll 
Browseui.dll 
Shell32.dll (Windows XP and Windows 2000 only)

D) If that doesn't work:
For Windows version (Win 98/ME/2000/XP) - 
Download iefix:
iefix.zip


It is a general purpose repair utility for Internet 
Explorer which repairs Internet Explorer by registering 
it's core DLL files. Additionally if it detects Windows 
2000/XP as the Operating System, it runs SFC to 
restore missing or corrupt Windows system files. 

Requires Microsoft VB6 runtimes for Windows 98/ME 
systems, download here:


VB6 Runtime


E) Start->Settings-> Folder Options->File types Tab
Locate each of the 4 file types listed below. Click Edit 
and click the Set Default button.

Also verify that each command line is correct:

URL:File Transfer Protocol "C:\Program Files\Internet 
Explorer\iexplore.exe"

URL:Gopher Protocol "C:\Program Files\Internet 
Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol "C:\Program 
Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with 
Privacy "C:\Program Files\Internet 
Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome

If you made corrections to File Types, check to see if 
there is any difference.

If you still have the problem - also in those File Types, 
Use DDE may be checked.  Try Unchecking it 
to see if that makes your links work.

F) System Restore. For ME or XP.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q306084

G) mcrepair.  Free from Microsoft. For Win 98 or ME.
Download mcrepair and place it in a folder.  Open 
Windows Explorer and  click it to run it.  Answer yes to 
all questions and let it repair the files.
mcrepair.exe
