Unable to open IE links from programs

[Yak84]

Anytime I try to open a link from a program (example, clicking on the link on an e-mail in Eudora or an upgrade page from a program) it opens a blank IE page with no text in the body or any address in the address field.

I'm currently using windows XP home edition w/ SP2. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this.

This happens on any programs I click on a internet link.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I tried what you suggested. Didn't help.

Any other suggestions?

Looks like a problem with IE itself. You can try repairing XP. That might work.

Download IE6

I tried downloading the patch but it turned out I already had installed it.

I also tried "repairing" xp but I have misplaced my XP cd, so I couldn't continue.

You could uninstall it from add/remove windows components and reinstall it

Thanks for the suggestion. It worked! I'm stupid for not thinking of a simple solution like that. :drool:

Thanks Again!
