Links not working in Office2007

[Tim Coates]

I recently upgraded from Office 2000 Professional to Office 2007. Despite
having set the necessary string value in Level1Remove in the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwate\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Security key I am
unable to open many attachments in Outlook and URL links don't work. Also,
although I can create a hyperlink to a file on my PC in Word, Excel etc when
I click on it, it doesn't work. In all cases I get the following error
message: "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on
your computer. Please contact your system administrator."

I didn't have this problem in Office 2000.

OS is Windows XP Professional SP3
Antivirus, firewall etc is Norton 360 v 2.0--

do "run all from my computer" for office in clean boot mode and if that
doesn’t resolve
try new win user account.

Srikanth, thanks for the advice. Tried both, no difference. It looks like
I've long weekenfd ahead completely removing anything to do with MS Office
and switching to Mozilla Thunderbird and Sun Open Office - sick and b tired
of MS and its problems.

ok

1 . highlight : "HKLM\Software\Classes\.html" set data to "htmlfile" for
(Default).
2. Start > run
"regsvr32 urlmon.dll"
"regsvr32 mshtml.dll"
"regsvr32 shdocvw.dll"
"regsvr32 browseui.dll
regsvr32 msjava.dll
do "reset web settings."

 

[Tim Coates]

Did as you suggested.
opened a cmd line prompt
ran "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" and all OK

ran "regsvr32 mshtml.dll" and rcvd "mshtml.dll was loaded, but the
DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. The file cannot be registered."

continued anyway and ran "regsvr32 shdocvw.dll" and "regsvr32 browseui.dll"
both OK

ran "regsvr32 msjava.dll"
Rcvd "LoadLibrary("msjava.dll") failed - the specified module could not be
found"

Still, hyperlinks in Word, Outlook etc now appear to be working, so thanks v
much for your advice.
