Hi,

Recently whenever I try to open any link to a new window (Context menu>Open link in new window), my IE6 give an error in a messagebox, and after clicking OK button several times (the messagebox comes 3 times in a row) the now window finally opens. The screenshot is attached. Can someone help me in locating the problem??

Try to repair IE!
U can try following commands:

regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll

Uninstall "Internet Explorer ActiveX Update 912945"... Microsoft recently released a non-critical, optional update for Internet Explorer 6 for Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. This update changes how Internet Explorer handles web pages that use ActiveX controls.

Uninstalling this update will not compromise the security of your computer.

To uninstall the update:
Click the Start button.
Click on Control Panel or on Settings > Control Panel, depending on your system.
Click on Add or Remove Programs.
Near the top of the Add or Remove Programs window, select Show Updates.
Under Window XP - Software Updates click Update for Windows XP (KB912945).
Click the Remove button and continue through the Software Update Removal Wizard by clicking Next.
Once the Removal Wizard completes, click Finish. Your computer will restart and the Update will have been removed.

Attemp to repair IE6 didn't work, and the ActiveX Update was not installed on my IE. So I am using Opera for the time being (until my next partition formatting !!). Thanks for ur replies though .

PS:

Nice signature....

This error may not be coming from IE itself - it could be coming from an IE add-in program or toolbar. Try disabling any 3rd party toolbars you have and
running a spy-ware detection program
