"file://" links do not open in IE with Office 2003 Std. installed

P

Since installing Office 2003 standard, links to files on network storage
(file://) do not respond to clicking with an "Open/Save/Cancel" dialog.
Internet Explorer 6 in Windows 2000.

Uninstall Office, and IE immediately pops up the Open/Save dialog upon
clicking any file:// link. Reinstall, and IE goes back to just quickly
flashing across the progress bar down in the Status Bar and then doing
nothing. "open in new window" open a new blank IE window. "Save Target as,"
on the other hand, works.

Something wrong with the IE plugin on the installer?
