That was a very pleasing response to my suggestion and not even from the OP! If you
don't quite understand the problem, as simon says; "When attempting to access
web pages, blank Explorer pages appear instead". You don't need to have a tissie
fit about it. That Microsoft patch has been around forever and one of it's purposes
is exactly what seems to be the problem here. The download specifically states 'Microsoft',
so should someone think it's a virus or what? What's the difference in you suggesting
someone to download and run Ad-Aware or SpyBot?
The patch replaces several dll files, in particular the OLEAUT32.DLL. The file can
be extracted from the systems CD, but the patch is much easier for most people. Another
possibility is the URLMON.DLL and it's usually suggested to re-register it for this
problem. Furthermore, it can't harm the system and if these to techniques don't resolve
the problem, a reinstall of IE is usually necessary anyway.
End of story, no reason to respond!
