Try this: Double click on "My Computer", then in the window that opens
go to the "View" menu and hit "Options" then the "File types" tab.

Scroll down the list to "URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol", and see if
it's associated with "IEXPLORE". I fit is, I don't know what the problem
could be, but if it isn't, then hit the "edit" button and look for
"open" in the "actions" list.

Highlight "open" and hit the "edit" button, then hit the "browse" button
and browse to your MSIE 4.0 executable... the path should be like this:
"C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe"

OK your way out, and it should be working again.

Hope that helped...

Yeah, me too..

Although it only happens sometimes..

I first noticed this at the APEX site, when I tried to visit the OGR site
and the Gamestats site from the logo hyperlinks in the left-frame. It's
strange though, because most of the other links work... this lead me to
believe that the page wasn't set up for use with IE 4.0, only to find that I
was experiencing the same kind of problem on other pages where I had never
had problems before..

I know it's off topic, but if anyone can help us out, please do. Is it a bug
in IE 4.0? (And yes, I have made sure my file extensions are properly
setup.)

Thanks,
Dan Bryan

<Very good advice SNIPPED!>

Thank you very much Sir!
That was the solution I was looking for..... seems to me like MS Frontpage
had messed things up a bit....

Again,
Thanks
