try going to start --> run and type msconfig, go to the startup tab, and uncheck all but systray and explorer, reboot and try it

If that fixes it, go back and recheck them one at a time, reboot in between each until it happens again, then you have the culprit

stevenlewis,

Thank you for reply.

I have tried. The problem still exists, even if I uncheckd all but systray and explorer in the startup tab.

See if doing a Repair on IE 6 helps

1.Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Add/Remove Programs.

2.On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, click Add/Remove, click Repair the current installation of Internet Explorer, and then click OK.  


The Crazy One

CrazyOne,

Thank you for reply.

First, I choose to Repair the current installation of Internet Explorer. It can't fix my problem.

Then I run regsvr32 to register urlmon.dll, mshtml.dll, shdocvw.dll and browseui.dll again. But the problem still exists!

Last, I uninstall IE 6, restore original IE, and update it to IE 5.5 SP2. It still can't fix it.

How should I do?

BTW, I found another problem, I will get an error message

"Error: 34"
"Incompatible Version of the RPC Stub"

when I click "Edit" menu, then choose "Find" option.

Here's how to do it in Windows,

Another way to do this is within Windows and does not require you to do anything in DOS.
Press Start>>Run and type in sfc then hit OK; the System File Checker utility will open. Select the second option (Extract one file from installation disk), then, in the white field, enter oleaut32.dll. Press Start (in the SFC box...NOT the Windows Start button), and in the next window, where it says Restore From, enter either c:\windows\options\cabs or the path to the CD (depending on whether the installation files are on your hard drive), then press OK. Once it's done, you'll be prompted to reboot

guidway

is this happening on every link that you try to open throu gh right click|open in new window?  or does it happen with specific links?

guidway,

Thank you very much. After I replaced the oleaut32.dll, it's OK.

And thanks CrazyOne as same. You give me a lot of helpful infomation.

But I only can accept one as answner. I will post a question named Questiopn for CrazyOne ... to grade you.

Thanks a again! Thanks for all people help me!

Glad it worked for you Jerryleo. And thanks for the 'A' grade! :-)

Thanks guidway.  

I was having two problems with IE6:

1- "Error: 35 Incompatible Version of the RPC Stub" when doing a ctrl-F (Find on this Page)
2- The '"Open in New Window" makes a blank page' problem discussed in this thread.

Both of these problems were fixed when I installed an older version of oleaut32.dll

It might be easiest for novice users to download and run this patch which overwrites the faulty dll.  That way, you needn't bother with switching to DOS mode, etc.

I have used the mcrepair.exe fix, I have replaced all 4 of these files using SFC and restoring from Windows 98 Cabs and I have used the dcom98.exe file after renameing the oleaut32.dll. None of these have worked for me. I have the same problem with a blank window opening inside internet explorer, I cannot do an edit file or ctl+F withour getting the incompatible version of RPC stub, and I also cannot print from internet explorer because of the RPC stub. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

mcooley,

I think you maybe restore an incorrect version of  oleaut32.dll. Try to restore it from your Microsoft Office installation CD-ROM under MS-DOS.

Hope this helps
