I have lost the ability to call up a new window on the links of a web
page. Can't get a Shift Click or right click > "Open in New Window".

I've also lost the ability to "Find Target" in a property menu of a
shortcut.

Any Ideas? Thanks in advance. Jerry

Try this:

1. Quit all programs that are running.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. Type "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" (no quotes), and then click OK.
4. When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded" message,
click OK.

If this does not resolve the problem, repeat steps 2 through 4 for each of
the following files (in step 3, replace Urlmon.dll with each of the file
names below): NOTE: Msjava.dll could give error message "module could not be
found", if you are not using Microsoft version of Java Virtual Machine. If
so, ignore this for now.

• Shdocvw.dll
• Msjava.dll
• Actxprxy.dll
• Oleaut32.dll
• Mshtml.dll
• Browseui.dll
• Shell32.dll

Oops, spoke too soon. The Internet Explorer was fixed but the "Find
Target" in the shortcut property menu still will not function.
I can live with that. Thanks again, Jerry

Sorry for taken so long to answer.

I'm using Windows XP Home.
I can't figure out what I must have done to cause the problem ?????
