susien428, Try the possible fixes under the Resolution section at the link below. Many times registering the referenced .dll files corrects the problem. Also make sure that you have Internet Explorer set as your default browser.

Can't open url/links anymore(?) Need help w/ the help page

Could someone explain to me 'how' can you verify these registry values? I would need some pretty clear instructions. The help page was given in another post in this specific area, here it is again:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281679/EN-US/

(about three clicks down for Windows XP users)

thank you for your time, appreciate it.


If the problem is still not resolved, verify that the following registry values are present and correct:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
Name: (Default)
Value: IDispatch
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid
Name: (Default)
Value: {00020420-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid32
Name: (Default)
Value: {00020420-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

I have the same problem as susien428 where I click on the blue link in the OE email and nothing happens. I tried the recommendation in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281679/EN-US/ but the download doesn't exist anymore. Any other suggestions?
