Strange Link Problem

True_Moose · 09-12-2003, 11:07 PM

Today, I have been having a bit of a problem. I can't use hyperlinks that link outside of Ironworks. Even following a link to the old War Forum, my IE 6 froze. The rest of my programs, including MSN and WinAmp3 keep running fine. I can go through the forums to posts and to other forums, and hyperlinks outside of the site work fine. Does anyone know what would cause this? I'm running Internet Explorer 6 with Windows XP, fully updated.

EDIT => Alright, the problem is with anything that will open a new window. Even Preview Post crashes it right down. When I say crash, I mean the computer acts almost as though IE is a blank screen. This is probably an IE problem. Any suggestions?

hmmm, how odd, thought it was just my computer doing that :S mine has been acting strange too, and it has also got to the point of locking up, and when I have to do a hard reboot, the moniter can not find the pc, could it be a bug? or a virus? my husband downloaded stuff, even after I told him not to, so do not blame me this time Larry [img]tongue.gif[/img] , another problem I found, and this is funny, never let a child beat on the side of the comp, it causes it to lock up

Reboot? Or you've tried that? Clean out your temp files so there's nothing bad lying around there. Other than that all I can think of is re-install IE or get yourself a decent browser instead.

Anyway, it finally worked, after defragging the drive and three (!) restarts. Very strange. Anyways, it's fixed, so I won't be asking for answers. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yes kids and the puter, does not mix. I had to put up one of those gates going into the computer room. I would walk in there and Sydney is standing there turing the computer on and off. Then I think to my self how long has she been there for.

I got a similar problem, and it was a corrupt dll.

In my case, it was oleaut32.dll. What is your OS?
