Windows 7. ie links won't open

[duliduli556]

I've spent hours on this but am getting nowhere.

I bought an almost new pc with Windows 7 ultimate loaded. I have no backup discs so I'm "as is".

I use Internet Explorer 9 but have the same problem when I delete 9 and use ie8.

The internet opens fine, but several web pages have hyperlinks which will not open when clicked.

I tried a microsoft hotfix that did nothing.

I tried running regsvr32 urlmon.dll which said OK
each of: regsvr32 shdocvw.dll, regsvr32 actxprxy.dll, regsvr32 oleaut32.dll, regsvr32 mshtml.dll, regsvr32 browseui.dll, all came up with "dllregisterServer was not found"

I downloaded Firefox, which is all OK.

Where do I go from here, please?
