Missing Webpage Content

Hello, I am running Win98se, IE 6.0 with all current upgades and patches from MS. About 3 weeks ago I started missing links and content from all the pages in all the websites I visit - they were replaced by blamk boxes with an "X" in the upper left corner. I have not knowingly changed any settings. Am running a 1.2 gig AMD CPU with 512 meg of memory. I have assumed it has something to do with Java or Active X, but both are enabled in IE/Tools/Options. I am obviously over my head here and need help in fixing this problem. When I click on these spaces they still take me to where they are supposed to, I just can't tell where that "supposed to" actually is. For instance: On PCMags home page, left side, there are links to areas such as Extreme Tech and Downloads. Box exists, unlabelled, and when clicked takes me there, but captioning is missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You very much. wpdodge@satx.rr.com

Try these fixes in order........
  • Repair Internet Explorer: Select START\RUN, type MSINFO32 in the 'Open' box and press enter. From the 'TOOLS' menu select 'Internet Explorer Repair Tool'. Then from the next menu select the repair option.
  • Enter the following command from the START\RUN box and press 'ENTER'. You will be prompted if the command was successful. regsvr32 Urlmon.dll
  • If the repair and registering the dll doesn't resolve the problem, run this Microsoft MCREPAIR patch. The patch will install older versions of files that are compatible with Win98. Answer YES when prompted to replace the files.

I want to thank you so much for solving my problem! Your first 2 suggestions made improvements but weren't complete fixes. But running the MCREPAIR totally fixed it. It is really great to know there are experts out there willing to help us when we have problems. Thank you again! Bill Dodge
