MSIE 4 Bug Fix
 
 


This should fix the MSIE4.x JavaScript error associated with the popups.

1. Click the Start button on the Windows toolbar, then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type regsvr32 actxprxy.dll.

3. Click OK. You should see the following in a message box:

DllRegisterServer in actxprxy.dll succeeded.

4. Click OK.

5. Click the Start button, then click Run.

6. In the Open box, type regsvr32 shdocvw.dll.

7. Click OK. You should see the following in a message box:

DllRegisterServer in shdocvw.dll succeeded.

8. Click OK.

9. Shut down and restart Windows. (I didn't have to, but most people do, I guess..)

This sure isn't convenient and it makes your page look bad to IE 4 users until they have it fixed, but once it is fixed, everything does work smoothly. Perhaps you'd want to make a small link off your page with the fix instructions for IE 4 users.

While this fix does involve the registry, you are *not* directly editing the registry and Microsoft assures me that the fix is safe and effective.
