Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options, under "Temporary Internet Files", click
the "Delete Files" button, check the box, "Delete all offline content", "OK". After it
finishes, click the "Settings" button and lower the amount of disk space to use to 10 Meg. Click
"OK", "Apply". That will increase your hard drive space by how much was in that folder. I've
seen it well over a gig. Folders that big are prone to crosslinked files. Clear it weekly, or
sooner, especially if IE starts acting funny. You can automate the process by clicking the
"Advanced" tab, scroll down to "Security", and check the box, "Empty Temporary Internet Files
folder when browser is closed", click "Apply", "OK"
Now try it again. If it still fails to work, then look here:
Another reported cure is to click Start, Run. In the run box, type
"regsvr32 urlmon.dll" without the quotes and press Enter. Then open
Internet Explorer and go to Tools, Internet Options, "Programs" tab,
and click on "Reset Web Settings...", click "Apply", "OK"
