It is extremely an irritating experience to suddenly see hyperlinks not working in outlook express i.e. mischievously the hyperlink texts appear blue in color with an underlined, but it just does not respond to "left click" of your functional mouse device on it. You might have to "right click" the hyper-linked text and select copy link to paste it in the address bar of your internet explorer or any other installed web browser to visit the destination website residing in that sabotaged offending hyperlink.
Resolution: Allow DllRegisterServer method entry point in urlmon.dll (Dynamic- Link Library) to succeed.
But exactly how to perform the above action on your Microsoft Operation System? It is simple! However, requires a careful approach by following given below steps.
1.) Navigate your mice cursor to the "start" button available on the "task bar" of your Microsoft Operating System and "left click" on it.
2.) Select and Click the "Run" Utility to open it. What is Run Utility? Well, This Run Utility opens with a text cursor blinking in the Text Box to enable you to type the name of a program, folder, document, or Internet resource, and Windows opens it for you. This Run Utility comprises of three click-able buttons "OK", "cancel" and "browse".
3.) Now carefully type "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" without "double quotes" in the available text box and hit the "OK" button.
4.) You should receive following message on a dialog box with a click-able "OK" button. "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded"
5.) That's it, now you just have to "Reset Web Setting" of your Internet Explorer or any other Web Browser. Here is how to "Reset Web Setting" of your Internet Explorer Web Browser.
6.) You are required to open the "Internet Properties" by typing the "inetcpl.cpl" command, without double quotes, in the text box of the RUN Utility just as you typed the "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" earlier.
7.) Now try to locate "Programs" Menu Item, usually on the 6th position of the Top Menu of "Internet Properties" menu items, and select it by using "left click" of your mice button.
8.) Final Step is to locate "Reset Web Settings" click-able button available in the body of "Programs" Menu Item and click on it. Please do not forget to close your web browser once and open it once before confirming the resolution.
