TR4A,
Tried the regserv thing, it did not help.
I started having the problem with IE5.5 then I installed IE6.0 thinking this would fix it, it didn't.
I am running 98 and IE6 now on the machine that I am having problems with.
Thanks

The problem also occours when a javascript window opens
Take a look at this:

TR4A,
Thanks, interesting, the registry entries seems to be file, just tried to register the files that are in the "The "Open in a New Window" Command May Not Work (Q272322)" page....
Shdocvw.dll,Oleaut32.dll,Actxprxy.dll,Mshtml.dll no problems with the regsvr32 command...
Two copies of url.dll on the machine, one in system, the other in backup, all the other dlls have only one copy on the machine.
Shell32.dll and url.dll, a message box appears.... ."shell32.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry pointer was not found
DllRegisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of the shell32.dll may be in memory. Consider using the PView to detect and remove it."
Whats PView .. any ideas
Thanks

Found this on <a href="http://groups.google.com/" target="_blank">http://groups.google.com/</a>. .----------------------------------------------. .I can confirm you that replacing OLEAUT32.DLL solves this problem.. .If you have the same problem of new windows from explorer not. .displayed,. .please check the version of OLEAUT32.DLL in the microsoft DLL help. .database:

In my case, i have accidentally replace my oleaut32.dll file with. .verison 3.50.5014.0 that is supposed to be windows XP only (and don't. .work on W98)
you can obtain a good copy of oleaut32.dll version 2.40.4518.0 for W98. .in oeinst.cab copied by explorer 6.0 setup (download only).. .The file need to be replaced by a MSDOS prompt because most likely. .will be in use.. ._________________________________________________
